Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 9470022" data-attributes="member: 63">I ran the inspiration for WotBS back in 2003/04, and Rantle's player started his 'courtship' of Shalosha in the equivalent of adventure 3 when she showed up in Seaquen. She found him uncouth but appealing in a Han Solo sort of way. Then in the equivalent of adventure 6, the PCs were captured by the Ragesians and Shahalesti at Castle Korstull. During interrogation, Shalosha protected most of the party from the predations of the inquisitor, though Diogenes got carted off because he was clearly a wizard. In the jail interactions with Shalosha, Rantle was defiant but flirty, which flustered Shalosha. She was trying to get them to join her father, and he was trying to get her to join them and ditch her father.Meanwhile, the inquisitor tortured Diogenes and lopped off his leg when he refused to answer his questions - a plot beat that got reworked into adventure 4 with the knee surgery. But that led to a fun session where I had Diogenes's player keep his wizard, but everyone else took the role of a member of Clan Millorn, who'd hidden in the walls. They rescued Diogenes, then had him help them spring the rest of the party from jail so they could make a break for it.The Ragesians eventually caught up with the party because Diogenes was using a crutch and slowing them down. Shalosha  joined the retrieval group, but was trying to get the Ragesians to take everyone alive. Rantle tried to grapple her to keep her from casting spells so the rest of the party could escape, and she responded with an opportunity attack that crit. Her sword plunged through his belly, leaving him at exactly 0 hit points.Rantle's player asked if, as his last action before passing out, he could slide forward along the length of the blade to kiss her.He collapsed, and after her shock wore off, she administered a healing potion, then switched sides to help the party finish off the Ragesians. And then she joined the team.And yes, many many sessions later, Rantle finally went to ask Shaaladel for his blessing on their marriage. Shaaladel responded with disdain and mockery and insults and implications that Shaaladel would make sure Rantle's sister Katrina was executed as a traitor, Rantle attacked his future father-in-law. And got his ass arrested again. And only escaped execution (alongside his sister) when the trillith attacked en masse.</blockquote>
