I thought and I thought and reread everything and I want to state some things.
DM:
Larmiun has an INT of 14 and a WIS of 18, he would know that what you are doing right now is not smart, nor wise.
Larmiun could be right now fishing and doing other things.
Going adventuring is not smart nor wise. At least not Int 14 smart and Wis 18 wise. Still, I RTJed. I love fantasy, where smart and wise people go on adventuring.
Albrecht Delmorn:
How about this, I'll make it easy for the DM and everyone involved. I'll drop this game and you can all happily slaughter my character and continue on being idiotic torture machines who care nothing of the law for as long as you want. Hell, you can even kill Velox, Elmo, and Faerrash if you really want to. Why stop there? Just go back to town and kill everyone there too!
Why Elmo and the rest of the town? They haven't attacked Larmiun nor Ailishi. We are sane people, not mindless drones who want to enforce a law that doesn't reach this place. If it reached this place, adventurers like Larmiun shouldn't be needed.
Besides, Ailishi is trying to defend the people of the town and our own butts. These bandits are a danger to them. Albrecht is defending a danger to the people, to society.
Albrecht Delmorn:
I don't want to be in a game with players like Larmiun and especially Ailishi, who blow everything out of proportion and have to turn everything into a dick showing contest. Yes, I know I started this whole thing, but a simple "Oh shit, my bad, maybe we shouldn't torture this guy" and BOOM, Albrecht would have happily went on his way and we'd be halfway back to town now.
So... you started this confrontation but Ailishi is the one who must step back? WOW.
DM:
I believe that Ailishi and Larmiun are largely to blame for the current situation, it's clear they were threatening other party members. And now even moving upon it.
Larmiun never made a threat to anyone. He just prepared for an event. The beggining of a fight.
Albrecht Delmorn:
"Wow! I was unaware we were in the company of such an accomplished duelist in our dear Ailishi here! Willing to take on three men at the same time. Shall we perhaps tie one of your hands behind your back as well, to even the odds? Maybe even blindfold you?" Albrecht quips, his words dripping with sarcasm as he openly laughs in the man's face
That is the beggining of a fight. Albrecht stated what was going to happen next and the number of people who was going to help fight Alishi. The next step was violence and Larmiun just chose a side.
DM:
I believe that Ailishi and Larmiun are largely to blame for the current situation, it's clear they were threatening other party members. And now even moving upon it.
Larmiun is not evil. Protecting good people is not evil. Protecting a friend is not evil. Torture is evil, but at least Ailishi is not taking arms to protect a rapist and murderer's well being. And even then, a single evil act doesn't make him evil. If he builds a school, that doesn't make him good as much as torturing a bandit doesn't make him evil. Turning to one alignment or the other takes more than just that. He obviously has ranks in intimidation and intimidation is not nice. It is not doplomacy.
DM:
I'm not to well pleased with their actions at this time. Neither picked an evil alignment to begin with......course I suppose they might belong to the group that believes someone neutral can do whatever they want.....
No, that is Chaotil Neutral. And Chaotic Evil. Larmiun sees a friend in danger and he protects him. End of the story. True Neutral is about doing what Larmiun thinks is a good idea. It is in the description of the alignment. If you are not pleased with Larmiun defending a friend, I think it is obvious you will not enjoy the game while I play it and you will not make it enjoyable for me. Neither of us deserve that.
