The Lamentation of Lolth - OoC IV

[hippocrachus]

Speaking of the mistreatment of dark elves: I just wanna warn everyone that considering the way I mean to roleplay Calenthang, a hefty alignment shift might be entitled once we start dealing with the drow.
Lawful neutral can be zealous, but hatred can drive one to evil deeds.
I'm probably just over-exaggerating, but I can say Calenthang's reactions to drow won't be what we're used to from him.

Hmm. Maybe teleri can be a harper? If Majin can house rule it, she could take sense motive as a class skill if she doesn't already have that... and her next feat could be negotiator..... i dunno. she seems to have the good-natured bit down. and probly no one would suspect her of being one, at least outside the group.

I haven't really gotten Teleri's personality down..... she seems a bit different than what I imagined her to be. . might need some help in editing her personality profile anyway.

 

[Verbatim]

When I mentioned Ayden becoming a Harper, I guess I should have clarified it a little more. I don't actually plan on him taking the Harper PrC, at least as of right now I don't, but I meant it more along the lines of him just being a field agent for them, doing good deeds where he can, helping out the weak against the strong, basically what we are doing right now.

Kirinke, I'm not sure if it will help any, but I'd like to make a suggestion for you about Teleri. Look at her right now as she stands, and think what you would like to see her become down the road. Don't think what would be "cool", as right now almost everything could seem it, especially if you are on the fence about which way to go. I stepped into the Human Paragon sub-class, because I wanted to be able to show that as Ayden grew in his faith, so also did he grow as a "champion" of his race. It wasn't an easy thing to do, as at the time, we really needed all the clerical support we could get, and to be honest, Ayden is not the easiest char to play in a combat heavy world.

You have structured her stats differently than I did, allowing her to be a stronger "arm" of the church, and if you begin to tweak that, especially with the blade that you now carry, it would, imo only, weaken what you could build. I see Teleri as being an almost true mix of fighter and priest, at lvl 20 she could easily read Fig 8/Pr 12. This would show her continual spiritual growth, as well as the fact that she has had to keep her battle skills honed to protect not just herself, but her companions as well.

If you want to take the Neg feat, please do, as every "face" person a party has is a benefit, but look back at the posts and ask yourself "Did Teleri talk much? Has she been an active voice so far? Or is she now just preparing to show these hidden skills?" As I am all about the progression of chars through their past actions, a fact that I think will one day cause Sielwoodan and Ayden to get into a fist fight..., I personally don't think that feat is right for you. Do I think Iron WIll is, definately, as it could show her resolve at not allowing others to dominate her mind if she can help it. Plus, I think it is on the Fighter's bonus Feat list, while I know Negotiator isn't, a fact that would make you have to wait until 6th level to take, and by then, it might make perfect sense for her to take it...

Sorry if I am rambling, but I see you all doing amazing jobs with your chars. I love the fact that while Sielwoodan can be an arrogant prick, he's our arrogant prick. I love the fact that Drogo has not lost what I consider his "halfling charm" even though his progression as a stronger druid may make him one day have to choose what is more important to him, his calling or us? Calenthang's odd personality quirks that just pop up moments before the smack down begins, I swear it is like we have our own set-up music..

I'm sure you all get the idea, so I will shut off the rambling valve and get back to the heart of the matter. Only you can decide what you want to do to Teleri, and we will support your decision along the way. Just be sure that what you do with her, you do because you want to do it long term, not just because at this moment, you are having a crisis of faith...

*steps off soapbox*

And as always, it is a blast getting to play with you all...now lets kick some arachnid ass!!!

 

[Seonaid]

Okay, this obviously isn't working. I don't know what to do about it, but I need to drop the campaign. I don't know if/when I'll be able to come back, so feel free to kill Chastity if necessary.

 

[kirinke]

Hmmm. sounds interesting Verb. In fact, I have been toying with the idea of letting Teleri have the iron will feat... LoL. Well. She doesn't seem to fit into any Prestige class that I can see, so for now, I'm going to follow your suggestion and keep her as a multi-class character with no particular interest in prestige classes.

And I can't really see her as being happy as anything but a cleric-fighter. And while some see the priests of Sehahine as a bit passive, Teleri is anything but.

*Hugs Seonaid.
Don't worry, we won't kill Chasity. If Majinn allows it, she can stay at Orchard Falls and maybe provide a bit of protection for the innocently arcane-minded, so if you want to play her in the future when your things get settled, you can. Like the man says. Once a member, always a member And this is going to be a fair long game. ^)^

 

[Majin]

Sorry to see you go Seonaid. :\ I kinda did see it coming though as it got harder and harder for you to post the past couple months. But Kirinke speaks the truth. This campaign will still be running for years to come as I see it, as long as everyone's interest holds I'll be here.

As for what to do with Chastity in the mean time, theres lots of things she can occupy herself with in Orchard Meadows. A deputy for the new sheriff perhaps? With Ernest gone from leading the church perhaps Chastity will ally herself with the new high priest of Yondalla's temple, giving Torm a face in the town as well? I'll leave that up to Seonaid to decide either now, if she comes back to see this message, or if she ever decides to come back to the game. (which she is certainly welcome)

 

[Dhes]

First off all, I’m sorry to see you go Seonaid. I know that we haven’t been playing together for a long time, but I still feel bad to see you leave.

Second, sorry to all for my lack of posting the last few day’s, my ISP I being a Biatch, and I hope that the server update from today fixed a lot of problems I was having with some internet sites.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity will probably be content to hang around, spreading Torm's Word and Will to the unwashed masses. If something happens to necessitate her leaving, she wouldn't hesitate to go.

I don't know how much I'll be able to check in here, but I hope you all do well. Maybe in a while I'll be able to come back. Thanks for all the fun times!
