[QUOTE="Kalis, post: 4181610, member: 64720"] I was talking about the hypothetical villagers of a hypothetical village that the pcs move to. What lie? The mother did die in childbirth. There is only really two witnesses, a villager and another arbiter(who is amused by the whole situation, which paints arbiters in a bad light). The other arbiter wants to recruit them as arbiters, so he should be willing to kill the witness himself(because that is how arbiters roll, being the pillars of law and good they are) to protect what he perceives as potential allies. Again, what would cause the children to suspect? The mother did die in childbirth, and a paladin should love two children he swore to protect enough that they would never doubt he is their father. He was late in arriving at the mother's side, so he and his cleric friend couldn't cast magic to help her. After speaking with her through magic, the paladin was told to take care of the children, so he does his best to honor the mother's wishes. A faithful account of what happened, without actually telling the children what went on(a Darth Vader betrayed and murdered your father moment) I don't see two children being raised by a paladin as turning into villains. Your just stretching for anything. [/QUOTE]
