I'll try to work up a map that might take me a day or two.....

I really hope the intent of the map is not to have a fight between player characters.

Yeah, it would really suck for you all to have to roll up new characters. :P

I don't want to fight other PCs, but Albrecht will defend himself (and he's pretty strong...), so I hope this doesn't end bloody.

If I do have to roll up a new character, I've got a few ideas. Always wanted to play a tripping machine... lol

Albrecht, the last thing you did that is not turning to someone or speaking is making a pile of items. I don't think such a pile would be near any bandits, so I think we are several squares apart.

Velox, the intentions of the map is to have a clear tactic picture of the situation. As you can see, Albrecht wants to fight, despite its player doesn't want to (?).

In reply to Ailishi Urcmon (msg # 406):

You control Ailishi. If you don’t want to make him fight make him have a realization of how close to evil this act will be. Don’t hide behind the Player/Character divide farce.

Albrecht doesn't want to us torture someone. That's all. If he has to fight to stop such a thing from happening, so be it. He's Lawful Neutral, and I've always played that as being willing to defend the law, even if he has to cross a few boundaries. He has no real connection to Ailishi, and if he's the one instigating the torture, he will gladly put an end to it.

In reply to Albrecht Delmorn (msg # 408):

DM, does the continued act of killing an unarmed man and threatening his allies shift Ailishi to evil. He’s definitely evil in my eyes.

Ailishi doesn't have a knife, he has a Kusari Gama, which is a sickle like weapon that is on a chain.....

As far as I can tell he's trying to intimidate the person into giving more information, that in itself is not an evil act.

In reply to DM (msg # 410):

Ok. That’s definitely not how I am reading this but I defer to you.

What book is the kusarigama from? I'm curious as to what exactly it is since I've never heard of it (in the context of 3.5, I know what it is in RL lol).

In reply to Albrecht Delmorn (msg # 412):

It's from Oriental Adventures

That's what he initially intended according to his PM.

Now things have gone past that, but Elmo is trying to defuse the situation, he's dropped the pretense of being a drunk. Perhaps Elmo knows more about what's going on than he pretends :), maybe he just came along to make sure you all returned :)

In reply to Velox (msg # 407):

You mean Albrecht, right?

Dude, that is what Albrecht is doing, not me.

So drawing your weapon and threatening someone aren't actions that will spark violence? Clearly I'm reading different words than you are...

Guys I don't want to have PCs dying or attacking one another at this stage, kinda bad for the start of a game.

I was hoping that Elmo's actions would move folks to calm down but some seem to still be moving to attack.

Keep in mind also that if things do go bad, that Elmo and Furnok are going to give an accounting of what happened. You don't want Elmo's brother to come looking for his missing brother.....or being essentially banned from town as bandits yourselves, folks please take a deep breath and step back from attacking one another. There are two clear paths, one group can escort the bandits captured as well as the remains back to town, the others might chase after the other bandits.....

In reply to Ailishi Urcmon (msg # 416):

No, I definitely meant you Ailishi. Your intimidation went too far, it's easy enough to back down now before this all comes to blows. I'm all for helping Milander go check out the bandits nest before we head back to town, but we're heading back to town and you should get on board with that.

After we've gone to town we can sort out who's doing what from there.

I think Albrecht is absolutely right here.






So you are forcing everyone to follow your whims, even when the DM stated another procedure. Wow.

I'm pretty sure Milander is chasing down the bandits... you guys are welcome to tag along of course. :p

*wiggles eyebrows*

Did Larmiun just attack someone?

The real question is... who's coming with me to hunt down the remaining bandits?

In reply to Larmiun Dol'Uten (msg # 420):

No, I said I'm returning to town, it would be awesome if you hadn't just initiated an attack and you all decided to come back to town.

I'm pretty sure that ray needs to be ret-conned so we can all roll initiative and such, or I can just slam Ailishi with my flail since his weapon is stuck in the bandit for this turn :).

You all are crazy.  I will roll for init as well if that was a spell.

So.... just to be clear.

We've got:


Going after Bandits
-Milander

Being labeled a Bandit by Elmo and possibly murdered by a high-level character named after a character on Sesame Street
Larmiun

About to get involved in a brawl and possibly labeled as bandits
Faerrash
Alishi
Albrecht

Getting ready to bury a body
Seralessa


I haven't missed anything, have I?
