[Mature] Very Bad Thing about to happen in game.

[Eidalac]

So, an... event is about to happen to my PC in our D&D game.

A female PC (I'm a guy, FYI).

It's a Bad Thing.

So, if you don't like to hear about A Very Bad thing that's almost exclusively to member of the female gender, you'll want to stop now.

Oh, and it's Worse Than you Think.


You have been warned.




[....]

Our game tonight ended on a cliff-hanger, but let me build the scene.

The group has been hired to do a job, without being told what the job is. Reluctantly, we agreed and left on the 3 day trip to the location, and had a nasty run in with some bandits near the town that left 1 PC stable in the negatives and one (mine) at 0 hp. (1st level, so no healing past a pair of potions an NPC had used to save me and another PC).

We are waiting at the inn for the local head-cleric to show up to tell us what the damn job is. My 0 HP PC opts to kill her pain with some ale.

Rather than showing up on time, the cleric has the bar/inn-keep open up his stores of dwarven whiskey.

My character, Kata, proceeds to get *trashed*, being impulsive enough to just slam the juice before she realized what it was, and blowing her fort saves to not be drunk.

An RP session commences, involving more Ale as well as another round of whiskey, at the end of which I decided she is in bad enough shape to nearly pass out. Another PC takes her to a room and has his dog guard the door. Oh, and she got healed back up when the cleric arrived.

All fine and good, so far.

Downstairs, another PC gets in over his head with a female NPC, and another PC opts to direct her to my room.

I'm dead to to the world when they show up, even with the halflings antics and escape attempts. At length, he gets the NPC to chuck him out (prestidigitation used to make it look like he ... soiled himself... all over...).

The NPC then locked herself in.

With my PC.

And the Dog.


Think very hard on that.

Think harder on the 3rd occupant of the room.




Now, aside from the fact that most of this got setup because it was amusing to the DM, which irks me some, but not a huge amount (it's fantasy after all), there is a large issue it brings up.

You see, in Kata's backstory, she was captured by some pirates at the age of 12.

Bad Things happened to her. (She lost one eye and still has a limp 9 years latter).

So, her reaction is going to be... intense.

In that she could well jump from NG to CE by murdering the NPCs in involved. And it wont' take her long to start on the other PCs.

IE, she is going to go Serial Killer on them.


Still, job issues may force me to drop out of this game in the near future, but I don't like this situation.

It's not that our group doesn't have plenty of infighting and conflict, it's kind of our thing to be honest. However, most of the other players suck when it comes to playing a subtle character (you know they are going to betray the group long before it happens).

I'm very good at subtle.

I'm playing a Beguiler.

If she snaps, provided she covers up/hides the results of the initial murders, she is going to decimate the party over time.

I'm going to kill the game.


I can only hope the DM elects to let to not have happen what has was implied at the end of this session. He could well just be screwing with me on the matter and I'm just thinking too much on it (which I'm known to do).

But if it does happen... well, either I elect to have my character snap enough to get into a direct fight ASAP so she can die, or she goes Hanable Lector and murders the rest of the PCs.

Neither option holds a great deal of joy for me, frankly.

(well, killing everyone would be kinda sweet, but we just ended an all evil mostly drow game I was DMing because everyone got tired of all the inter party murder, so i'm not eger to start that mess up again.)


I'm just not sure how to feel or what to think about this situation I guess.

1) I am happy to report I have no idea what horrible thing you think is obvious.

2) ibtl

So what is that bad thing?
The NPC will give your PC a stupid hair-do? The dog will soil the carpet?

 

[Henrix]

It sounds to me like you ought to talk with your DM.
You know, tell him how you feel and try to work something out.

Player's First Law: Thou shalt find a reason not to destroy the game.

Player's Second Law: If thou canst not find it, talk to thine other players or thine GM.

And, really, what in the female NPC's character has led you to believe that THAT thing would occur to your PC?

 

[Leatherhead]

I don't see how this situation is exclusive to the female gender. Sadly (thankfully?), it isn't the worst story I have heard either.

More importantly, just tell the DM you are uncomfortable with this.

Additionally, for future reference if nothing else, why do you have go off and kill the party for something that an NPC did? Roleplaying is cool and all, but if you don't like or aren't having fun with the way you think your character would act, perhaps you shouldn't be playing that character. Or at least not playing that character in such a way that is causing you to have problems with it.

I don't think any of the myriad possiblilities you are possibly discussing are proper for Enworld, honestly. If nay of these are true, then you seriously need a new DM. A mature one.

 

[avin]

Talk to your DM.

Something could happen at the inn that prevents that scene to happen.

If the scene happens and DM does nothing to help, yes, poison them all.

PS. We could have a "mature" section on forum, for discuss things like that.

 

[vagabundo]

Now I consider myself to have a very active - and possibly warped - imagination. But apart from some sexual innuendos in the OP I'm at a loss as to why something Bad (tm) is going to happen between the two female characters and the Dog. I don't see the motivation here.

 

[Piratecat]

Good advice so far, but you know what? I don't think anyone's grandma needs to read a thread on medieval date rape or anything else of the kind. Talk to the DM; find a reason not to ruin the game.

Thread closed.
