The Blade of Phoee (Updated 12/08/08)

Well, the thread is not locked...I haven't gathered any warning points...and my post hasn't been deleted....so I assume:

Either no one has read it
Or...everyone that did read it expected such from Rhynos (and myself)
Or...I just failed horribly at stirring emotion...

No matter the reasoning, I guess the last post was kosher...so I continue to enhance my concept of how far I can go with...description of certain types of events.

Unfortunately over the break, I didn't get around to an update...but I'm sure you all can expect one from me at some point this week.

stay tuned....

Oh I read it all right - and had my emotion stirred. But I don't think anyone having got this far into your storyhour would have been at all surprised.

 

[Funeris]

Wow, that was a fast response HalfOrc HalfBiscuit.

lol. Yeah, I can see what you're saying Glad I stirred some emotion. I think Rhynos is the hardest character to write...because he is evil...he's not above rape, murder, torture, or well...anything and trying to find a decent balance in the writing (so as to avoid a banning) is difficult. Especially because his history is pertinent to personality...and the path he ends up on.

Oh well. I hope I can finish up Rhynos' (hi)story maybe some time this week...so I can get back to the main thread...but we'll see.

I thought it was a good update. Faintest spark of humanity and then 'poof' it was gone. Good stuff. Its tough to ask WWRD and then distill it down to something you can post on a public forum. Rhynos is more into inflicting mental anguish (cause lets face it, every Ed Gein knockoff and his brother does the physical stuff and that's so amateur hour) and that's tough to write as well. But you've pulled it off this far. Maybe its time to take it up a notch next session--just in time for our new players

New players = Sacrifical Lambs
O did I say that out loud.
Actually it is Cassock that is the closest to death. I might actually need a back up character in this one.

P.S. Mike, Like the idea, run with it run with it. run boy run. I only have the main Eberron sourcebook but I'll work with it.

I don't realy like Rhynos. But of course that is because I feel a bit strongly about
rape but I guess it realy comes down to picking the lesser of the 2 evils

 

[Funeris]

You don't have to like Rhynos...he is a villain.

And by no means am I claiming that rape or anything else you find in this thread (including traveling from village to village and killing "evil" people for money) is acceptable behavior. I have rather a strong stance against that specific behavior as well. But, he is a villain. And I try to portray him as such.

I'm sure I've broken some sacred cow ideal by allowing evil characters to travel with "heroes" (although...in my defense...no one was giving me a solid alignment at this point--they were all claiming "chaotic neutral" except Rhynos of course). But...evil or good...when it comes to party composition...does it really matter as long as the two factions have goals that run parallel?

Once those goals diverge...the crap may hit the fan. But until that moment....they may find they need each other.

Yup, though there is Good/Neutral/Evil in the party, it can be done easily enough with our group. The players are cool with it, the characters might not be if the 'goals' ever cross. That might be sooner than most think though.
