[QUOTE="Mournax, post: 1354004, member: 16421"] I finally found a scribe to read this to me in exchange for a handful of coins. I pounded him unconscious for lying to me, but the new scribe says the same thing and is typing my reply. I am guessing that Rath paid a bard to sing this tale, he comes out looking so good. I recall a spirited discussion about whether is was worth questioning such obviously dishonest creatures since most of the party was unwilling to tolerate any worthwhile methods of getting information. Given this, I wanted to kill the creatures immediately, but was asked to wait. Rath at one point even offered to release the creatures unharmed in exchange for information. I figured this was a good trick, until Rath said that he meant it. I said no way and that these creatures would reveal all they could about us to their comrades if released, so I would kill them no matter what he promised. Rath then said if he gave his word he would PROTECT the creatures and help them leave unharmed. He basically threatened me. That takes some king size, well the scribe says he can't use the word I want, so let's just say it takes guts. Still, I can respect a threat, and it is always wise to tread carefully with touchy wizards, but helping the evil frog creatures leave was such a bad idea that we would have had to see who has the biggest horns. Luckily, Rath came to his senses and I put the frog things to the axe. I can't help thinking though that Rath and I will lock horns on this kind of thing down the road. And, oh yeah, the next bard that says I "whined" about anything is going to get kneecapped and fed to the carrion crawlers. **OOC** I really enjoy games where it is possible to role-play disagreement and keep it in character. It allows for far more interesting interaction and more possible directions for character development. I hope the GM will report on the background and interaction that occurs, because some of it has been pretty cool. I would, however, like to correct one egregious error. NO ONE in the group gave me a hard time for gaming the night my wife went into labor. This was because she wasn't due for another THREE WEEKS. I may be a gaming addict, but I'm not that bad. [/QUOTE]
