So, my lawful good asimar Monk recently joined the Zhentarim (of the Forgotten Realms). I'm so distressed over it
.
It all began with him leaving his monastery of the Sun Soul in order to explore and learn about the world, which he knows very little about. The first person he meets is a neutral druid, whom he more or less befriends. The next is a neutral fighter. The fighter comes from a land that gives him an extreme universal acceptance, to the point that he simply has to say he is from that land to get just about anything he wants (within reason).
We get hired by a city in The Vast to take another city in the area to the west of (I can't remember the name of it, at the moment). So we go there, get the peasants support, and take the city (it was being policed by the Silver Ravens, but didn't have any true government). This raises sort of a problem, as Scyllua Darkhope, a 16th level fallen Paladin (a real NPC from the area) also wants the city in order to further establish her claim on the area (we were level 2). So the Druid and the Fighter that I'm with leave with the mercenary army the Fighter is in command of to try and get a neighboring city on our side. I volunteer to remain and do my best to protect the city.
The next day Scyllua and the army she has with her demands that we give her the city. I order all the peasants to leave so they don't get hurt, but 600 stay anyway, because they like her. My character orders the forces he had with him to flee, and has a messenger sent to Druid and Fighter (it took three days to reach them). She rides in and takes the city. My character is left with the other 600 peasants that fled the city, with only about 50 or so that can hunt or fish.
About three days later all the people are starving, and Scyllua has said that if we return she'll feed us. My character decides to return with the peasants and delay as long as possible for Fighter and Druid to return with the army. He (my character) does this by having endless negotiations with Scyllua. In this time she feeds the peasants and they (the peasants) all grow to love her.
Druid and Fighter and the mercenaries finally return. Fighter looks around at what happened, ordered the mercenaries I was in charge of to retreat, saying the city was lost, and orders my character to be executed.
Naturally, my Monk runs away and asks Scyllua if he can join her. Before she can respond Fighter comes back with his army and fires an arrow at my character (misses). Scyllua then grabs my character and they fly off on her nightmare.
So now I've joined the Zhentarim and I am back with Fighter as a representative of the Zhentarim to protect their interests. Druid talked to a bunch of squirrels using a magic item he got and took what they said to mean that he should stay neutral.
I think after Fighter has my Monk assassinated I'll just make a neutral evil fighter. I'm tired of never knowing what to do.
