[QUOTE="LordAshram, post: 3000003, member: 43259"] Count Korson This is a character I played in a game a few years ago, and even today he still gets the occasional guest appearance in our groups games as an NPC. Korson actually joined the party after my first character died due to a couple of bad rolls trying to avoid kobold traps. So instead of making me sit out the rest of the session until the party could get my corpse back to a priest to resurrect me, I rolled up a kobold “hostage” that was forced to help the party get out of the underground caverns. I had so much fun with the character I decided to continue playing him instead of reviving the dead one. Korson was a troublemaker. He never actively worked against the party, since he knew his survivability depended on the safety of having four much larger and stronger party members to hide behind. But he would play them against each other for his own amusement. It was actually his knack for pushing people’s buttons that eventually helped him become a Count. While the party was investigating a series of thefts among the minor nobility, Korson snuck away from the group and wandered into a local Count’s private chambers. He took one of the Count’s cufflinks. Later, when the party reported back to the King, Korson snuck off again. This time, he wandered into the Queen’s private chamber. He planted the cufflink in her jewelry box, and took an earring. Later, he got a private counsel with the King, and with “great regret” informed him that the last time he was by the Count’s estate, he saw the Queen’s carriage leaving from a back entrance. The King was already a suspicious man and thought the Queen was having affairs. Of course, a search of the Queen’s chamber revealed GASP! PROOF of the affair! The Count’s cufflink was in her jewelry box! The king sent guards to the Count’s estate and GASP! The Queen’s earring! In the Count’s bed! Off with their heads! The Queen, professing her innocence, ended up asking the party to help her escape. Since none of them were aware of what Korson had done and they believed someone was trying to frame her, they agreed. The Queen escaped and ended up living in exile. The Count was beheaded. And as a reward for his “honesty and loyalty to the crown” Korson was given the lands. At that point, the campaign was over, so the party never had a chance to get even with me. [/QUOTE]
