[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 3679050, member: 4881"] So, in our "trying to roleplay more" campaign we have two players who are both playing clerics of Tyr. After being ambushed by goblins and not falling in their spiked-pit-in-the-road gambit we came to the post-battle cleanup. My character (a wild elven feral druid) decided the best course of action would be to lop of their heads and place then on sharpened sticks placed around the pit in order to warn travellers of the pit, as well as warn goblins not to mess with people on the roads. At this point Cleric of Tyr A jumped in and said it wasn't kosher to do that to the bodies. Cleric of Tyr B retorted that it was just retribution for the crime the goblins were going to do to innocent travellers. A 30 minute real-time discussion took place on the ethos of Tyr. It was interesting that we have two apparent cookie cutter characters that because of this small issue have begun splintering their religion into two different sects (the eye for an eye reasonable or the 20 eyes for an eye hardcore). My question to you is....what do you think Tyr would think of using goblin-heads-on-a-pike as a warning to future goblins? DS PS The discussion ended with a compromise of sorts....the wild elves pitched the goblins into their own pit and impaled them on their own spikes while Cleric of Tyr A sulked at being outvoted. It was a fun evening....and i'm not being sarcastic. We need serious shots of character in our games. [/QUOTE]
