The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

[Verbatim]

His lips moved for a moment, but no sound came out. And then he died.

Which either goes to show that everyone is wearing a red shirt in these stories, or Dar will get the Tiros treatment and have a Raise Dead sent his way and allow him to have a major mad-on to kill the Duke.

Yikes, I take a couple of days off and all Hell breaks loose, literally!

 

[Rabelais]

Jiminy Christmas! I was just gone for a week... and what do I find when I get back? A MESS!!!


I heart Lazybones

 

[Rhun]

Dar dead? It cannot be!


Damn, can't wait to see what happens next!

 

[Nightbreeze]

After this...I'd like to see what happens

I'm still trying to figure out why Valor likes him more now.

As far as I can tell, it was an Axiomatic blade of some stripe. Especially since it's called out in one of the stat blocks that it deals an extra 2d6 vs. Chaotic opponents. And Wererats are chaotic evil. (According to the latest copy of the SRD, since I don't have books in front of me right now.)

Unless the blade just hates neutrals or goods (and I seriously doubt Dar was GOOD), I don't see why it liked him any better. And it still should have given him a negative level for being chaotic, even if the issue was with another slice of his alignment.

Of course, this is me getting hung up on a minor aspect of the over-all story once more... but still. You just killed my favorite character! I have to focus on minutae.

According to this page: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/lycanthrope.htm#wererat, wererats are "always lawful evil".

I confirmed this with the rtf posted at the WotC Web site.

Interesting. I'd of thought that a wererat would be chaotic. In fact, if you're looking at animal behavior, with wolves being a pack type canine, I'd of thought they'd be the ones lawful evil instead.

Goes to show what I know. Not a damn thing.

Anyways, back to the story. *clears throat* NOOOO!!!!! NOT DAR!

EDIT: Oddly enough, if you scroll down that page you linked, LB, there's a chart with Wererats shown as Chaotic Evil under the alignment column.

I agree.

Still in agreement. Damit.

yeah that caught me a little off guard as well. *grumbles about darn conflicting rules*


Any chance Varo show's up and saves the day?
erm... ok, the irony almost outweighs the fantasy in that last thought.

Conspiracy, imo.

Could happen. His actions would revolve entirely around selfish motivations, but it could happen.
