Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 6925118" data-attributes="member: 6801228">So, I don't know if anyone was waiting to find out what happened but.... well.We started back in the dream dungeon, so my cleric agreed to remain in the room he was in (with the other vampire spawn) while the assassin went looking for the paladin.Ran into the ranger (who was recovered from his pneumonia and could rejoin us) who quickly ran into trouble by drinking from a magic pool and getting petrified. So the Assassin drags him back to me, I was low on spells so I'd have to cure him later. I had found out though that these spawn are an experiment. They've been bonded and if they are seperated for too long one will die and the other will change. I assumed full vampirism. I promised I'd do everything to help him and we all set off dashing through the dungeon looking for the paladin, before it was too late. We find her, and the arguments begin. I had communed with my gods (thank you for ritual casting) and had learned that this beings had their souls still, the paladin called my gods liars because her powers only work on undead and all undead are souless, to which we almost had violence yet again. Finally the paladin said that if we couldn't take one of these soulless automatons with us, we'd just kill them both. To which my cleric agreed, because to cure them of vampirism they first needed slain then revived. Needed to take a long rest to let the Deathward I cast on the male to run out, and the paladin refused to let him place his arm around his bonded, essentially refusing to allow them to express there fear and worry, she of course was completely robot, because mind control slavery. During this time the big bombshell dropped, our druid still feels like the paladin is her family, and so she tried to talk reason into her and apologize yet again for an incident during the werewolf night where she threw a dagger at her and pushed her back (she was a battlemaster at that time, rp caused complete class switch). She said no need to apologize, she wanted to thank her, her betrayal had killed a part of her, the human part that wanted friends, family, and all that, now she was finally who she wanted to be. Of course, telling this to a 16 year old girl, who is essentially a hippy now and considers herself the paladin's family... we were all stunned (out of game, because only those two heard the conversation) especially the player of the druid, who now is very upset because she might have to retire her character, because that quite literally destroyed her character's entire world. We went to execute the vampires, and the male moved at the last second to avoid the blow, transform, and go full bore after the paladin. The ranger helped her, but myself and the rogue just waited, because we knew exactly where he was coming from. This *insert expletive* had stolen the mind and soul of his bond mate, refused to allow them event he semblance of time together, and then mocked and rejoiced over the act of killing them. He was in the right. Once he fell my cleric cast revivify on both of them (DM allowed my to revivify 2 people at once as a 5th slot, with the understanding that it was simply for story moments like this) and then we had a stare off about whether anyone was going to continue fighting.This is about when the male started going nuts, turns out he had a magic gem embedded in his neck, and after trying multiple spells, my cleric who is a doctor ended up attempting open throat surgery on a thrashing person. I wasn't rolling well, when a mysterious voice asked if I wanted help. I agreed, because I had promised this man that we would help them and make this all right, that I would do everything to help them, and I was failing. So, I think I made a deal with a literal Devil, there was a vision as we left the dungeon, and now the Druid is going to leave the party because the Paladin is completely a sociopathic monster. And I still haven't confronted the ranger over our issues.</blockquote>
