Carrion Crown AP (Savage Stampede) - OOC

Of course, [MENTION=59043]Walking Dad[/MENTION]'s druid had to be the first to address my Duergar... :X

If Daggal were an npc Zeldana would have either left by now. Or we would have come to blows, either way the situation would be over. Possibly with Zeldana's death, but over.

Just for discussion's sake, but how is a cremation any different from a burial if it's the soul that matters to a priestess of Pharasma?

Fair enough. Just at this point, I don't know why we would stick together.

At this point, none of the characters has ANY reason to 'stick together'. Have you ever been to a funeral, or any kind of "family" gathering? No one automatically gets along with each other just because they all know the same person. In this specific scene, it's an emotionally charged event... in Daggal's case, the emotion happens to be rage and contempt.

Everybody else at this point at least respects the professor, if not cared for him. At this point your just alienating the rest of the group and the closest thing to an employer in the story. I mean really, why would she not simply shove your watch in your face and bid you on your way? I mean you've basically told her that her father was not worthy to breathe air.

That is a good question, and here I'm relying on @HolyMan 's DMing ability to make it an interesting one. Maybe the watch is missing. Maybe it's been promised to someone else. Fact is, the watch does NOT belong to Daggal; it's "legally" the Professor's property. Daggal is here out of spite and unfounded right to entitlement. How he gets mixed up with the rest of the party, well...

If we step out of the player mode for a second and go to 'meta-gaming' mode, we can assume that the module always has some kind of reason to tie the PC's together, and it's usually the motivation behind the first adventure. We just haven't gotten there yet.

If HolyMan or any of the other players has issues with the way I'm portryaing the character, I'm open to discussion. However, if the CHARACTERS have an issue with Daggal, we can work that out, too. Right now, he's just a loudmouth ass. In other words, a typical Duergar.

 

[HolyMan]

Will get through it and of course your right there will be a reason for you all to work as a group, but will probably not have the same motives behind your actions.

That said I think we should double check the CHA of the character before continuing on to far.

I need the weekend to sort out this mess as when the paladin is introduced we will need a real good reason for him not to go and kill the duergar after introductions.

Will get all this back on track this weekend.

As for the cremation, it wasn't the suggestion, but rather the way it was delivered. Which as has been established was deliberate. As for the rest it really is up to HM.

Maybe the real question, is how this group will get on at all. It boggles the mind that the most "normal" are a northman barbarian, a priestess of the dead, and a BLUE dwarf. From what I got from the player's guide, none of them would be accepted by the society. Monsters, half-elven varasian followers of Pharasma, necromancers, and barbarians. Is there any superstitious trope we didn't trip? All this is in the "Balkans". Don't know what they would think of the dwarves, but they would probably think the sorcerer was a werewolf.

I would just bluff them to think I just have a hair growth problem.

 

[Walking Dad]

My dwarf is actually not so strange. While his skin is rather pale with a very light blueish tint, the pics more extreme color is a side-effect of his active Endure Elements spell

 

[Herobizkit]

Paladin?! When did we allow a Paladin in the mix?

From the character creation process, we determined that this group would deliberately be "out of the norm", working towards the end goal of the campaign for reasons other than "we're heroes" and "it's the right thing to do". I find it odd that there are ANY 'normal' characters; the fact that there's a Paladin on the way is VERY disturbing for many reasons.

As for checking my Charisma, I rolled an 18, -4 for 14... so I'm the most swell Duergar there can be out-of-the-box.

Whew, I was curious as to how our (deadwatchers)Carrion group was progressing in comparison to the others and wandered over here. After reading a few posts, just felt I should say good luck; you all look like you need a bit of extra encouragement.

You guys should end up with a very different game from our do-gooders. Can't wait to read through it a year from now! Hope you all can pull it off! =D

Oh, so your cursed. You forget how superstitious these people are.

I'll then use my silver tongue to generate some sympathy instead of anger, poor ol' big man with too much hair...
