[e20 PF] And with strange aeons...

[Aldern Foxglove]

Thadeius planeshifts the group, but not the minotaur.

"The decision is not yours to make drow."

OOC: Honestly we were already stretching things to work with Mal, a minotaur would be pushing it, and I don't doubt several of the group can see through Mal's lie about the minotaur - I checked his bluff is what +3?. And as a player I don't want one player having two characters in a 20th level game things are already complicated enough

OOC: . We could all sit home and gate in solars, but it spoils the game.

 

[WarlockLord]

ooc: There's a valid, ic reason for this, but ok.

You do realize you left a horned devil randomly lying around in your fortress, right

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

"Not in my fortress Thadeius." Replies tightly, giving Thorn an apologetic look, "So its a horned devil and not a minotaur? Can we assume it is bound? Had you actually shared the truth I would have had a great deal less problem - if you had offered up the task to which it was bound of course. But you expect too much Malacarus you have aided us in a single battle, and we hardly trust you let alone your confederates. Your forked tongue is hardly helping matters."

 

[WarlockLord]

"It was bound, alright.

Considering that I had information you lot were planning an ambush against me, do you really think I was going to simply let that slide? And you assume I would be stupid enough to allow such a creature out of my control? Or to not bring in a means of defending myself? I suppose I should tell you about my allergies to mushrooms and dislike of bright lights, as well, so that when it really matters you can force me to choke on a mushroom and die.

So yes, feel free to accuse me of lies and deceit.


ooc: Blame the contact other plane. A remote possibility, yes, but one I feel Mal would deal with.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

"What ambush? Nonsense, we had no such plans, otherwise we would be carrying them out now." Thadeius snaps, the barest hint of exasperation creeping into his voice. "I will admit I would not be averse to such a tactic - expediency is almost always preferable if the consequences are not to great, but I doubt all of my companions would feel the same. And more importantly working with you is currently the more prudent course."

OOC: Ah I see DM answers, lol.

"ENOUGH OUT OF THE BOTH OF YOU!" Xanfire yells in frustration as the two wizards argue back and forth.

"Malacarus, I understand your concern. I do. You are putting a huge risk in trusting us, and you could expect to be betrayed at any moment. While I understand your actions, the fact is you lied to us about the devil. If you had been honest with us, even explaining your circumstances, I could have accepted it.

"Thadeius, you are also to blame. Every thing that this man has done, you have found fault with. The fact is, he came to us for help. He may not have wanted to, he may have despised it, but he did. That alone gives me enough reason to try and understand him. However, you have picked at his actions in everything he does. For once, believe in something you cannot understand. "

Looking at the pair of them once more, Xanfire continues "I do not expect us to be friends at the end. There is to much bad blood between us. However, I would like some teamwork. Is that hard to ask?"

OCC EDIT: Xanfire is trying to be the mediator between them, so that a theoretical ambush could not happens. But, at the same time, two wizards vs one cleric = death

"So because of your deception, you have betrayed Thorn? As for an ambush, none was ever planned, that I know of. You were played by whoever your spy was. This needs to be fixed immediately."

 

[Shayuri]

"Oh, it's not the first time," Thorn says thinly. "In fact, I was starting to feel like he didn't care about me anymore."

She scowls. "It's not going to trash my place is it? What did it agree to when you contracted it?"

 

[WarlockLord]

"It is not to attack unless I explicitly order it, which I haven't. I have allowed it to fight to defend itself or me. And I owe it money." the necromancer informs Thorn curtly. '"Very well, Xanfire. I agree to remain civil for the duration of our traveling together.

And believe me, had I wanted you dead, I simply would have ordered him to murder you as you slept. I assure you I only attempted the deception because I did not know how many of you were in on this. For this I ... apologize" forces out the necromancer.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I would rather the devil not be with us, If I get any say so."
