[QUOTE="Marimmar, post: 244729, member: 1789"] :) That won't work right now, they already offended a high level cult of the dragon wizard who almost singlehandedly defeated the party. He and his high level cult of the dragon cleric buddy are already on the lookout for them. The party luckily got wind of their plans because the party's wizard sneaked into the cult stronghold and overheard their planning on how to deal with the party. Since then they change locations constantly by using [i]wind walk[/i] and only rest in a [i]rope trick[/i] cabin. Thus far I ruled that the scrying cleric had some bad luck finding them because they either zipped around at 60mph or were locked up in their [i]rope trick[/i]. However this is prone to change soon unless the party stops interfering with the cult's activities and stays far away. I'm not really out to get the fighter for his deed, he already is under a [i]quest[/i] spell to kill five clerics of Tempus within a year and a day and bring their heads to the chaotic evil temple of Garagos the Destroyer in Westgate as additional payment for being [i]true ressurected[/i]. He is a level 2 priest of Garagos so they had to bring him there to get him back to live. All other temples either refused to raise him or it was clear that they would take the corpse and utterly destroy it. I just warned the fighter that he is on his way to become evil because I firmly believe that players should act according to their character's alignment. Else there would be no point in having an alignment in the first place. There's no reason that only paladins and monks are bound by their alignment and if they act out of alignment, they may face an alignment change. Since it doesn't involve a level loss anymore it shouldn't be too hard on the character, unless he is a cleric and loses his faith or a paladin. The chaotic neutral attitude of 'I can do whatever I want' is in no way acceptable and playing a chaotic neutral is like playing any other alignment. I know a lot of people in real life who are chaotic and thus believe I know what a chaotic character should act like. Those folks don't show up on appointments, are only interested in their own agendas not what is required of them, are not capable of keeping order at home or at work, are not willing to face the consequences of their actions and instead blame others, try to get other people to do their work and aren't able to concentrate on a task for more than five minutes. None of the above mentioned character traits involves violent behaviour and killing a bound prisoner is thus not neutral but evil in my opinion. ~Marimmar [/QUOTE]
