ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
During one campaign, our party routed some non-descript commoners smuggling and thievery ring. Mostly commoner thieves, a few rogues of level. Eventually, heroes of the land with our own feast days and celebrations. Life was sweet.
Next campaign was in the same setting, rolled a ranger and started taking weird ass skills and feats. Favoured enemy Human, brew potion/poison, profession (chef), etc. DM didn't think it was a big deal, just let me know he wasn't tailoring the campaign to my character's whacked out sensibilities. I simply nodded. Eventually, when we were nearly champions of the land, we were invited to a celebration hosted by the first party. Mid-way through dinner, I announced that the food had been poisoned they had killed my brother during the raids on Daggerspine, I have sworn myself to their destruction, and it was finally time for vengeance to be served. I had cleared it with the DM, rest of party was floored... and then actually rallied behind me. We killed an entire banquet hall's worth of people, our old chars, and the local constabulary...... rounded up some loots for our troubles, and left. My character then poisoned the party with painless paralysis, and ran off with his share of the loot. He professed his love to the female cleric. Somewhere... a paladin fell. |
