[QUOTE="Einan, post: 2713930, member: 29893"] Except the bartender never kills a soul. He doesn't need to. He simply plants seeds and allows others to follow them through. And I agree, if said Barkeep was stupid enough to do this a lot in a short period, people would notice. But Gus the Evil Barkeep (c) is smart, so he confines his meddling to the long term. He is patient and he is helpful. Like Coach on Cheers, everyone loves him. He gives candy to children and food to beggars. No one would ever suspect Gus of evil. Because he's EVIL, people, not stupid. Evil does not equal stupid. I'm sure there are terribly evil people out there in real life spreading lowgrade nastiness who never get found out. If they're smart and patient, then even heroes who slay dragons would never even thing of suspecting them of evil. I think that's my worst gripe with roleplayers. They always play in games where the evil villain is easily recognized. Where's the nasty evil BBEGs who evade suspicion? Where's the mastermind who is actually smarter than the players? Sigh.
