[sblock]DarkMaster, I have had friends drop in suddenly from interstate. They will be here for a few days so I might not be online so much. I did contemplate bluffing my way out of this

He would try and play the part of an ex-paladin of Hieroneous (unfortunately somewhat given to temptation) who now adventures, pretending to be a paladin still as a way of avoiding problems, and gain peoples trust. He keep himself informed about the activities of the church in order to avoid running across any of them. He knew that the church here was abandoned and was curious as to who had stolen its identity. He would be looking to gain some insight into their actions, and while not promising anything, suggesting the benefits of mutual cooperation.
This is all fairly involved and not my prefered option (but considering the odds, not necessarily a bad one). It involves lying, but Xavier tends to think an honest lie with since regret is better than the mealy mouthed "not really a lie but not the whole truth" word plays that some think is an acceptable practice for paladins.
On the other hand you could just play out the fight. Xavier would look to take on one at a time, either by challenges or by using his superior mobility over the armoured guys. He would focus on an 'evil characters and try to charge/smite for a fast kill. He would also use his Improved Disarm as well. And he would retreat if necessary.
Doing it in sblocks could be interesting as well. It would keep the others guessing.

Doghead, if you wish for Xavier to die you might be dissapointed. He is worth, at least to the priest, much more alive than 6 feet under.

Whoa. I don't want Xavier dead. I am really enjoying playing him. (And I want to get to a level where he can cast spells - never played a paladin that could cast spells.) Although, on the other hand, being a prisoner of the priest might not be all that much fun. For Xavier at least. I'm sure I would find a way to enjoy it if it came to that.
But Xavier is going to make damned sure he does what he can to ensure that that doesn't happen. And the first thing is to take Gror down (but hopefully still breathing, although I'm not sure exactly what I'll do with him then. Drag him back to the castle I suppose
) With Gror out of the picture, Xavier figures he has half a chance to convince the other two to push off.Similar Threads
