Let me be very clear up front: Alexander can do whatever you think he could/should/would do in any given situation. I have no issues with you playing your character how you think he should be played.
Still, without the full knowledge of facts that only Alexander has (Alden hasn't seen your super secret orders...I don't open sblocks that aren't for me and Alexander never said what they were) his actions "today" come across as fairly insane.
Let me summarise how the average man-in-the-street would see things.
- By public knowledge, Alexander was brought in near-dead the day before. Rumours about packs of Gnolls etc coming from the conversation Alexander, Alden and Tio had in the bar.
- A gnoll (dog-man, but whatever) was captured.
- Alexander rushed out into the street (like most everyone else) to see the gnoll.
- Alexander made strange demands and began talking to himself, making faces and frightening small children.
- Alexander casts a big flashy spell (no-one else with Spellcraft around to tell it was only level 1 and non-lethal in effect) and starts to escape with the captured gnoll.
- To add insult to injury the town mayor was taken out, along with who knows what else.
From anyone's POV except Alexander's, he is acting pretty weird. Even Alden, who has a better grasp of the true facts than any other person involved thinks Alexander has gone off his rocker. Not that he thought he was terribly sane to begin with, after the pink hair episode.
Still, it's entertaining to be involved with. As much as I hate Alexander he makes for an interesting game...
