[QUOTE="Draegn, post: 7574537, member: 6801461"] In my game the half elf paladin has previously been captured and ransomed back three times. This due to bad luck with the dice and another player in character running away from the combat. If the halfling wizard had stayed would things have been different? No one knows. Now the paladin has a relationship for lack of better word with a robber knight (ArKay). Arkay enjoys the company of the paladin, becomes wealthier, the loyalty of his men increases, and everyone eats better than usual for a time. This time the paladin 13, druid 11, ranger 10 and wizard 10 went to assassinate an enemy general. Evil/anti paladin 15 and his lamia cleric 12 lover. But they were betrayed by another npc who was seeking revenge on a fifth character, a thief. The group was given hints that it was a trap. Fewer guards, easier location to sneak up to, targets in an apparent compromising position. (Silhouettes of the evil guy and lamia seen inside a candle lite tent) The paladin and druid approach, open the tent flaps and see two female slaves wearing animal costume with a male slave performing. All four players cringe, sigh, curse, swear, that it's a trap. The halfling runs away for the fourth time, no spells, no weapons, just fleeing. The others are captured with both the ranger and druid being critically injured. The halfling surprised us by going to Arkay's camp instead of the other characters or an ally npc. What will Arkay now do? He likes the paladin and does not want to see her maimed or killed, however, if he attempts a rescue his word and honor as such will be ruined for having gone against his employer the evil paladin. What could he reasonably expect as a reward for rescuing the other three? What reward for taking the halfling to his general? [/QUOTE]
