[QUOTE="dog45, post: 3203953, member: 44310"] I convinced a town to hang their priest. And destroy his temple. Two weeks ago, I'm playing a Warlock/Cleric of Hextor with a semi-evil party. (Like the diet coke of evil). We clear out this castle that was infested with bad guys, clear out the gem mine next to it, and the neighboring town lets us keep the castle and mine as our reward. Cool. We hire a foreman and tell him to gather all the townspeople that want to work in the mine at the town square tomorrow. We're going to open the mine and rejuvenate this depressed and dead town. There's a problem though - the towns Cleric of Pelor has discovered that one of our players character is a werewolf, and sends his lackey to have him killed. Of course we capture the would be assassin and question him. I form a brilliant plan to remove the priest and proceed to cut out the lackeys tongue. Before the meeting the next day I grab a tome of demons from the captured castle, warn the mayor about a conspiracy i've uncovered, convince the magistrate to have guards on hand at the meeting, and bluff the priest into coming to the meeting. I told him the mayor was going to give him a special comendation for healing some of the people we saved from the mine. After the foreman describes the job and people start lining up, I interrupt and motion for the priest to come forward to receive his reward. I give the signal to the magistrate, and he has his guards bind the priest. I go into my speech about how the priest was actually behind the evil in the castle and mine, that he was summoning demons to do his work (show the magistrate the book on demons), that he knew we discovered his plans and sent his minion to kill us. I present his lackey, and explain that he cut out his own tongue before we could subdue him. (now the lackey cant argue otherwise). After the tremendous good we've done for the town (clear out castle and mine, give jobs to people), they are ready to believe anything, and the people cry out for the priests blood. The magistrate hangs him on the spot, the people mob over to the temple and destroy it, and the mayor pats us on the back. Not a bad days work. [/QUOTE]
