[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 960888, member: 11697"] (and blood tests clear Meepo of any responsibility!) Perhaps a bit of an odd thread title, but its an odd situation I find one of my players in. Their character is a female kobold, and through various circumstances leading to this the PC and I as DM are in a pickle. But here's the situation. The PC had already been mentioning how they eventually wanted to carry a clutch of eggs (much to the other PC's chagrin, they didn't think she'd go through with it, especially when in the middle of a number of plot happenings). The player was doing a rather nice job hinting at this, and I played along with it, usually it leads to good things, but sometimes you just supply to rope they hang themselves with. This may be the case this time. The PC discovers that one of the deities of her old, now dead, prime world is still alive, and suits her more than Kurtulmak. She finds herself wrapped up in her new faith to the point she builds a shrine and eventually takes a level of cleric of this diety, Shuulmat. She's accepted wholeheartedly by her new patron, and some time later, she's visited by a proxy of the deity. By her own choices entirely, the PC's encounter with said proxy goes ways Eric's grandma should'nt think about, and she's a pregnant kobold now. This wee little fact comes out right after a combat as the kobold and other PC's are travelling across the 5th ring from the spire in the outlands. One of those, 'I'll have eggs in a week or two.' out of the blue things. The other PC's are stunned, and likely to make her stay home and care for the eggs, then little kobolds afterwards. The player has done a good job with the RP, but also played themselves into a corner perhaps. The other PC's are overly protective, and one is a specialty paladin of a deity whose portfolio includes protection of children. By creed he's unlikely to allow her to willingly place herself and future children in harms way. The PC may be unplayable very soon depending on the other PC's reactions. And I'm not really willing to pull senseless gm feat in order to prevent this from happening, it was the PC's goal and the player had every chance for some 6 months of real time now to not have this come up without making the preparations for what it would entail. There's things I could do, but I'd MUCH rather the players handle it amongst themselves with their characters. Any suggestions? *fiendish tummy rumble* .... mmm.... roast kobold. Almost as good as Bebelith eggs poached in razorvine sap and Carcerian lemon peel..... ;) [/QUOTE]
