[QUOTE="Jacob Marley, post: 5571474, member: 89537"] Aye. I played in a Greyhawk campaign many years ago that consisted of a devout cleric of St. Cuthbert, a paladin of Pholtus, and a ranger who followed Trithereon. (For those unaware of these deities St. Cuthbert is a very LG (LN) deity of law and order as is Pholtus; Trithereon is a very CG deity of liberty. Pholtus and St. Cuthbert have an intense rivalry.) For the most part these three characters worked rather well together. All three were committed to fighting back Iuz's advancements into Furyondy and the Shield Lands, though they often differed as to the "proper way" to pursue their goals. As the campaign progressed the tension between these three characters was growing. It finally reached the boiling over point after they recaptured a Furyondian castle near the border with Iuz. The party found themselves with a number of prisoners (both orcs who followed Iuz and the Furyondian citizens who enabled them). The paladin of Pholtus felt that these individuals were traitors who deserved a traitor's death (mercy [I]is not[/I] a virtue in Pholtus' faith). The cleric of St. Cuthbert felt that it would be impossible to administer and defend the castle without assistance of its former Furyondian residents. The debate between these two expanded beyond what to do with the prisoners and became a larger debate about the values of the two faiths and, more importantly, which one was going to hold sway over the party. The ranger could not stomach the thought of abiding by the leadership of a Pholtun and joined with the cleric. The paladin left the castle and rallied his followers in the fields outside the walls. The cleric and ranger lead their followers out to meet them. The rest of the party split more or less evenly between the two rival factions. After all was said and done the cleric and ranger lay dead among the bodies of numerous hirelings and henchmen. We all had a blast and agreed that this was one of our best role-playing sessions. Luckily the guys I play with are all pretty mature about this sort of thing and no one took it personally. [/QUOTE]
