[QUOTE="QueenB7788, post: 7120127, member: 6881764"] Thanks everybody for the advice :) I didn't do the whole throat-slitting thing because I wanted it not to be too obvious he was murdered flat-out, in the event the rest of the party turned on me. That way, he was dead and I still have good standing with the party, which is why I drugged everyone. Secondly, I don't think the Black Guard is too bad of a deal because he still gets a prestige class out of it. So it was kind of our DM's way of making everybody happy. And if you're curious, I have a few different plans now that I've had time to think on it and talked a bit with the DM. Idea 1) treat the paladin especially well to the point where he thinks there's a special level of camaraderie, even more so than camaraderie between us and the other party members. Like a team within a team, hopefully keeping him from wanting to kill me. (I've already kind of started doing this in telling him that we could do a lot of really cool :):):):), which has gotten him reading a lot of about black guard and death cleric class, as well as gotten him thinking perhaps this wasn't a bad thing. I'm going to continue with this strategy unless..) Idea 2) should he find out, use deception and subterfuge to put the blame on an enemy. (Thank you Dandu) If this doesn't work... Idea 3) have a letter/message ready to be sent or given to his former temple telling them he has fallen to dark gods and arrive to make him repent, you watch their battle and study the Blackguard for 3 rounds... and act accordingly as an assassin if necessary. (Again, thanks guys). [I][U]Idea 3 is an absolute last resort[/U][/I], however I may even just use this idea as a bluff something like, "Are you sure you want to kill me? Because if you follow through with this, you're going to have a much bigger problem than a Rogue.." I'm not a half-hearted assassin, I do however want to cover my tracks. [/QUOTE]
