The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

[Cyronax]

Damn it......that was one of the best conversations I've ever read.
Amazing......just amazing.

You're ability to write is nothing compared to your ability to roleplay a Duke of Hell with an intelligence of who knows off the cuff.

Thanks,
C.I.D.

How, in the Nine Hells, did you ever come up with such a Temtation?

And I'm not even completely sure what the real crux of it is but I know that Ed's mind must have been spinnng like a top. Amazing.

Some questions (in case you weren't sure what they were ),

1. Did Ed's player react the same way (head spinning boy)?
   
2. Were the other players preasent for this negotiation?
   
3. Was the language used in play similar to what was used here?
   
4. When are you planning to publish this?

   Really, even the format was amazing. I could almost see this happening on screen. Flash from one conversation bit to another. It's a trick I've seen in movies. One you pulled off amazingly well.

can someone explain to me why this isn't a book ?

Holy crap... the temptation was truly evil. To be a paladin and to realize that everything you hold dear and right is about to be turned on its ear and YOU are expected to be the example of this new faith. Ideas that untill a few minutes ago would have been considered blasphemy or worse... Wow.

I just keep coming back to the one thing Sep said a while back Oronthon isn't Lawful Good, Lawful Good is defined by Oronthons actions. Whats a simple paladin to do when this 'definition' is thrown out own its proverbial ass ? Did I say wow yet ?

Well incredible story as always, thanks for lettin us read it for free

MMmmmmmmmm.........update......

Well, after some thinking, I am hoping Ed will throw Oronthon away and to pursue after Nehael.

Why?

"I accept full responsibility for my own actions," Nwm replied. "Which is more than you do, Eadric. You are a pawn in the hand of a deity with a personality disorder. You understand only one facet of his warped sense of morality, and you are playing out one of his psychotic episodes in the world of men, drawing the ‘innocent’ into the fray."

And...

I tell you, no virtue can exist without breaking these ten commandments. Jesus was all virtue, and acted from impulse, not from rules.'

So, go! Ed, if you must choose.

Look, I was corrupted...And are tempting Ed to go with me.

And finally a non game related quote.

If we accept that there is neither a heaven or a hell, we renounce the idea of any power beyond the perception of science we then must accept responsibility for all we do in this life for there will be no form of atonement afterwards.

this is the first of these i have had to read twice. had to being the important part. i have read the rest again for sheer enjoyment of course but this one made me have to double take.
ummmmmm, the temptation is to not be tempted and plagued by doubts anymore????? to go back to a simpler position without all of the responsibility of being god's anvil to hammer out a newer and improved religion of himself upon????
does this mean that Ed just realized that there is no end to fighting the good fight? that there is no point of "winning" this war after which you can lay down your arms and return to simpler times? or do i need to go back and puzzle on it some more?
and what reasons did you hope to become clear, that you mentioned at the start of the last post?

 

[Krellic]

Wow!!!

This must have been an incredibly hard session to run, let alone the pure brain processes that it would have taken to come up with the concepts in the first place.

I stand in awe sir...

I'm lost for words. Just assume I praise you in some cliched way and act suitably flattered.
