The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep- UPDATED 6/6

[Conaill]

Ummm... am I the only person here who thinks that tricking and butchering a helpless foe in their moment of sincere repentance is a pretty evil act? Whether expedient or not, it's kind of out of character for an archon.

Yeah, I'm in the "Snooky = Crow" camp right now. Of course "Snooky = Crow" would imply "Myramus = Fallen Celestial". It'll be interesting to see if Myramus still has his powers in the next scene. Such a devious setup would definitely be right up Crow's alley.

Hmm. Maybe folks aren't looking at this in the right way.

If she had truly repented, then she would go to eternal reward in Pelor's domain - and it's better for her, because there is no longer any chance that she will backslide to her evil ways (and lose her shot at redemption).

If she was lying, then she would go to eternal punishment in whatever place is reserved for people who break their vows.

Either way, justice is served.

As I recall, this reasoning was used in a lot of "by the sword" conversions - which happened at around the same time period that people were whacking each other over the head with bits of sharpened metal.

So, out of character for a modern person? Sure. For a neo-medieval person? A lot less so.

That theory raised the question of why Crow would want to help them eliminate their opposition when he placed it in front of them to begin with. Perhaps he's just confident in his own ability to deal with the Kinghts when they're at full strength. Seems a little silly for the Big Bad not to take advantage of a weakened foe, however.

Of course, I don't know the whole picture, so I guess time (and Doc M) will tell.

Or maybe he knew that the knights were not powerful enough to defeat the half-dragon/half-freak in a straightforward way.

Unlikely.

Doc's always been a sucker for solving problems with RP instead of a straight-up fight. Better dialogue that way, for one. Of course the PCs could have taken the half-b***h.....in this case, they took her without combat.

BUt seriously, I wanna know who thought this plan up. Who thought up the nasty combat end-around?

Does that really fit the Pelor we've come to know in Doc's world though? Pompus and arogent sometimes while helpful and loving at others. His worshipers are always portraid as strong and confident. But I've never seen them do anything like that.

If that's the way it goes though, is Dartan next? No wonder he's Godless.

re

As far as I am concerned, what Myramus/Maximus did was just Wee Jas's devious ways. I am pretty sure there are times when Doc just sighs and lets the dice fall where they may, this was probably one of them.

I just hope he gets on with the story soon. I want to see the fight with Crow. I am hoping Crow kills a bunch of the Knights before they finally get him. A nice, dramatic ending with lots of sacrifice and carnage.

Oh, they'd maim themselves if they believed that. Those two (and Pelor himself) hate Wee Jas. Not as much as they hat Vecna, but enough.

Low blow Celtavian. A broom weilding skeleton somewhere is chearing you on.

 

[Neverwinter Knight]

Lela, I believe Celtavian was refering to the player Wee Jas, not the actual goddess.

But Doc, c'mon and post it already! Otherwise I'll go post-hunting in search for the Doc summoning ritual by DWARF, so long ago.

Re

I was referring to the player, but one could argue that the player thinks like Wee Jas.
