[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2095325, member: 3192"] Well, a few sessions back my PC had a very definite in character reason for staying back at the party's keep to ensure its inhabitants' safety. So I made a temporary PC to travel with the group to a nearby city and back. All in all it took 2 sessions, but the introduction of the tempPC was priceless. I had made up a Neutral(NE) dwarf mercenary who was booted out of the dwarven kingdom. He was not nice at all and it showed. But as a PC I think the other players just assumed he would be nice. Of course, he was until he thought he could get more money by framing the group than helping them. The best part was his introduction. As the other players were searching some local humanoid caves, the tempPC followed them and used their attack as a distraction for entering another cave entrance to the complex. Locating some slaves within, one blurted out something vital about allies of the group. "Great!" he shouted, "my enemies live!" That threw the DM for a loop. ;) No, nope, not expecting that at all. I guess I should have written more of a background for the DM before hand. ;) :eek: Of course, afterwards the tempPC threatens the humans he just saved. "Never cross me!" and sends home the point by beheading the humanoids they were enslaved with. The 'rescued' slaves were no trouble at all after that. [/QUOTE]
