Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tzarevitch" data-source="post: 583569" data-attributes="member: 1792">Maybe it is just me, but I fail to see what the paladin did that was so bad that would require an atonement. If you are too quick to call for an atonement every time the paladin does something it looses its punitive value. I would have Tyr send a celestial steward of some sort (perhaps a deva) to explain in no uncertain terms that he is displeased and leave it hanging at that. Leave it to the player to think about what his character planned to do. In the alternative. Use it as a chance to encourage roleplaying. Have the deva appear and serve a summons for the paladin and the rogue who was trying to pick the lock to appear before a celestial court on a certain day for a hearing brought by one of the aggrieved goddess' proxies against the paladin and rogue. At the trial, the goddess' proxy will present evidence before a celestial judge appointed by Tyr (perhaps a trumpet archon) of the deeds of both characters. (Note in the celestial court there is no 5th amendment against self incrimination and being a celestial court it should not be possibble to lie.) The important question that the prosecutor should make the paladin amswer is, "Do you feel that your actions reflect favorably upon your god. Would you be pleased to go before Tyr when you finally die and admit to him, 'I did this . . ?'"Once the evidence is presented, the proxy can then demand a formal admission of guilt from both parties and restitution in the form of a task that the goddess needs fulfulled. Also, the paladin should appear in court willingly. If he and/or the rogue don't apear send the celestial bailiffs - perhaps some inevitables from MoP - after them (After all, they were served). If the paladin refuses to appear for a legal proceeding before one of his deity's minions that should be grounds for Tyr to cut him off until he quests and atones. Tzarevitch</blockquote>
