M&L's spoiler said:Well, sorry to be a rules nazi but: Daze "Components: V, S, M" But, i thought instead of pointing it out in the OOC this would be a nice opportunity to have Lora enter her usual bitch mode
Trinham was describing FLARE as a dazzle. Bright light in the face. Not Daze. Just thought I'd point that out OOC, as Aidan simply doesn't know enough about magic to correct Lora's mistakes.

ALIGNMENT CHECK!! ALIGNMENT CHECK!!
Kind of like saying red alert red alert LOL
Sphyh I wouldn't have anything to say about your post if your alignment was anything other than Lawful Good.
Now you don't need to change your post if you want to think on changing your alignment. What I'm saying is how do you wish to play your character? I know it is hard to remember what "playing style" you have for a character because so much time goes by and there is no sheet in front of you. Totally up to you though my friend. If you keep the Lawful Good alignment you could say that the "bloodthristy" posts was in responds to getting struck, even good guys get mad.

I have no problem with my lawful good character killing the gnolls. These are evil creatures that attacked us, twice. The lawful part of my alignment wants to see these creatures punished, put to death as it were. The good side, like you said, is tired and mad and ready to be done with them 
does that make sense? i guess its hard to play a character thats truely lawful, while being "good" or merciful in some situations. there are contradictions.
"A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished."

Hmmm... destroying evil is alright but killing defenseless creatures "even evil ones" doesn't feel LG to me, maybe if your character didn't suggest it but was alright with it being done than I would not say "Hey your lawful good stop them."
But if your character suggested it be done than sat back and let others do it so he "didn't get his hands dirty" or took the knife across their throats himself I would have to think you tended towards another alignment.
@ everyone: For the record I generally use alignment as a guide to playing your character, not a set in stone rule. If you decide to do something against alignment I am pretty o.k. with it but will question you about it (nobody can be LG everyday, so you are allowed a bad day) But what I really don't want is for you to go "off character"
In this example, killing the "evil creatures" because everyone knows that all gnolls are evil, but later not killing in a similar situation and using your alignment as the excuse.
There could be other factors as to why you don't do something typical for your character, my job right now is to learn what is typical so later on I can throw you into some really untypical situations and see how you worm your way out of them. (And besides it is also fun for me
).
So as I said Sphyh I'm not trying to push you around with your alignment just getting the feel for your character.

no i def understand HM. i def value the dms opinion lol.
i guess maybe this falls in that not typical situation. I mean if this was a band of human thieves who we just routed then yea tie em up and take em to jail or something. but these are evil, ruthless, creatures who, in my opinion, will prob try to kill us first opportunity they get if we let them live. idk i guess perspectives matter huh?
I have a lawful good character. they attacked me so its lawful to kill em. their evil so my good side has no qualms with that either. so the question becomes is it LG to kill them while they are helpless? i guess the only factor i can tie into that is its only logical to kill them. kill or risk being killed later.
