[QUOTE="Jubilee, post: 3364772, member: 36594"] Despite having been told by the GM himself that there's no compunction to start attacking party members right away, the psion has decided this is the most reasonable course of action for her. The warmage, being a very proud and domineering kind of elf (he is normally our party leader), would probably have responded the same way if he were still LN. I don't know the psion's original alignment, but I'm guessing CN or CG from her behavior beforehand. With regards to returning to normal alignment - the warmage comes from a very lawful upbringing and also bears a sentient LN sword that the GM has suggested (out of character) will turn on him if he draws it while under this state. We're not sure what the sword will do if it overwhelms him (probably it will do it's best to get him killed). So I think he would have strong cultural reasons for wanting to change back. Additionally, the healer, warmage, and fighter are travelling in Thanatos because we've been told a demon is preparing a ritual using our hair or something that will kill us all instantaneously as soon as it is completed, so we're trying to stop our own certain death. Therefore, the warmage has a Very Good reason to cooperate, and turn his alignment back if we insist. Unfortunately, the two newest characters, including the psion, are not under threat of death, so she could potentially refuse to be atoned. Which means we're leaving the character behind. However, she is a kalashtar, and according to the races of eberron, they have a very strong connection to goodness and light, as well as a piece of a quori spirit who has, I think, given up his evil dominating ways, so that might be enough incentive to turn back to normal. We have no NPC support, and no access to spells like dominate, charm, or hold person. Blindfolding the psion is a good idea, if we can manage it. /ali [/QUOTE]
