Message: <blockquote data-quote="wedgeski" data-source="post: 2743987" data-attributes="member: 16212">I have another one as well, actually, from the same campaign (crikey that was a great game). In said party, there was a woman-pretending-to-be-man character named Miken who had joined one of the most esteemed Knighthood's of the land - utterly against one of its founding principles, in that only men were allowed (long story). Anyway, my second PC was actually insinuated into the party (unknowingly to him) by his patron, one of the high-ranking members of the Knighthood in question, to spy on the Knight and report back. This ranking Knight had his suspicions about Miken in just about every way except the actual truth, and wanted to use my PC's reports as evidence against him/her in a show trial.So anyway I duly report back on the activities of the party, putting a heroic bent on everything, admiring their every move, completely unaware that I'm sowing the seeds of my own fate. In time, Miken's secret comes out (which by the way my bard kept to himself, at most egregious risk to himself), and the inevitable trial occurs. My PC prepares his most eloquent testimony... but is trotted out before the judge, publically congratulated on his services to the Knightly Lord who called the trial, and handed the deeds to the grandest theatre in town as a reward! (This by the way, a complete surprise to both myself and my PC.)Anyway, despite his best efforts to be heroic and turn them down, this is the equivalent of a lottery jackpot to a poor street-entertainer like him, so he takes the deeds and walks out of the Courtroom, all the while promises of bloody revenge being spat at him from his former party members who now erroneously think this entire proceeding is down to his betrayal.It was brilliant, incredibly well played by everyone and very memorable. I miss that game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
