I think it's been pretty appropriate for a character who is a muddled mix of the various sex fiends...

That was really directed towards the knights that are playing right into the worst aspects of the archetype. I don't even care about the acting like an oversexed bitch.

People that have demiplanes can cast lesser planar binding. It's actually more work for them to hire adventurers than to hit the problem with some more outsiders.

Judging Eagle:

Do you want to come back as some kind of undead?

Akula · Post by **Akula** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 7:03 am

As is probably evident, Avoraciopoctules and I talk on the phone regularly. He thinks that I will be better able to say this. So listen up.

If you want to continue in this, now is the time to either distance yourself from the recent violence or give a compelling reason why you should stay. And as this PKing has apparently been premeditated, without the knowledge of the DM, if you remain this shit will not fly. This is not directed to those not involved in the situation. But even if you have not, in your mind, done anything wrong; now would still be a good time to stop ignoring the NPCs and suck up to them a little.

Knights of the Jungle hate undead. Dana can refrain from killing any undead encountered within reason, but association with an undead is too far a stretch to accomodate.

Perhaps Judging Eagle could come back with a more coherent character?

With regards to zombie parades, in case people are curious as to where they mainly are:

Okay, now I'm just getting offended. JE, as annoying as I often find him, has done nothing wrong. Nothing. He didn't act aggressive and was beheaded because people were out for his blood regardless. If this happened in the course of play, a reroll might be in order. But because he has barely had a chance to play is character and I cannot find real fault with is actions or character concept, he can just bring the guy back in. Yeah the character goes off on tangents, but all I really need to make those readable is colored speech.

Not that you deserve this bile, but the circumstances definitely call for a res.

Nicklance · Post by **Nicklance** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 7:33 am

You're not the DM and you call for a res. I can get behind that as a fellow player.

I'm merely responding to the DM's attempt to re-introduce an existing character back as an undead which goes against my character's beliefs. You wanna call me out for that?

Y'know, the character got one shotted by a prospective team member. Why would they waste the resources to rez him? Rezing costs more than a minor magical item. True rezing costs wish economy.

Who is "They"?

Our employers, right?

Remember the dude. In the robe. With the skull.

Well, why would he raise some mook and send him out to help us? Honest question. I can't see a STORY reason for JE to come back as the rogue.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:00 am

Tome necromantic creation feats are remarkably inexpensive. Consider the skull. It has glowing green fire in the eye sockets. Does this mean something to you? It means something to me.

Consider presentation of the character so far. Consider his probable motivations. Consider his probable assets.

I always forget that Tome makes intelligent undead creation easier. That makes sense.

Actually, I've been using black for speech. Since it's the only real tone that suits the character.

Also, yes, in a previous post, "rouge", not rogue was the word being specifically used. I don't know if anyone else caught that, or the fact that needleteeth has rather peculiar dietary habits, or you know, the soup spoon that didn't come with the meal.

Nicklance:

If your PC hates undead, then why is he/she adventuring in what is essentially the section of Sigil's surface specifically dedicated to the undead?

Does not mean you fight with them side by side, or have them watch your back when you camp out or something like that.

So far the entire team lineup is entirely of living people. If the employers are undead, its a stretch, but not as big a stretch as trusting them to watch your back on the job.

Tell you what, you're the DM, send me an order from my superior to override my natural instinct and revulsion for the undead and Dana will grudgingly allow Needleteeth back as an undead party member.

You are the DM afterall.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:26 am

No. Why are you defending NecromanticVille?

EDIT:

What motivated you to come here, rather than elsewhere.
This is a city filled with undead.
"Zombie Coordinator" is a normal job here

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:30 am

I mean, sure Sigil is filled with bigoted jerks. Some of them help each other out to some extent. An argument could be made. Maybe. I haven't actually seen your backstory, and I assume it is different from the vampire pimp and/or the battle maniac.

Nicklance · Post by **Nicklance** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:30 am

Sod it then. Dana is an undead hugger.

See, I'm flexible like that.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:32 am

Alright then. That's one source of inter-party conflict trimmed away. Thank you.

Judging__Eagle · Post by **Judging__Eagle** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:02 am

Eh, being undead never was Needleteeth's bag anyway. Don't sweat it Nick, you won't have to bend backwards.

Kaelik · Post by **Kaelik** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 11:50 am

Wow. I didn't want to kill anyone earlier, but I really really want to kill the asshole godmodding player who thinks he's a DM.

Go fuck yourself Akula.

(not for your comments in this thread, for your in character shit. If the DM is seriously going to ask you to DM for us, you should not be allowed to be a PC.)
