Jan. 26th, 2018 11:08 amKnow what's rude? My husband convinced me to watch The Magicians. So I finally did, and got into it, and finished it on Netflix, and then started DVR-ing the current season. He won't watch the current season because he wants to be able to binge it. So now I can't watch the new episodes if he's around. Like I said. Rude.
We did our solo D&D game last night, and my cleric of Corellon is in a really difficult position. I don't even think the DM did this on purpose. So there's an invading army of evil, murderous eladrin. In this world where we find ourselves, there are lots of drow, on the surface, participating in society like they're people. We sent a message to the royal Seneschal, warning about the invading army (who is totally after my primary, cloned character).
He had us meet with him, and said he had a means of stopping them, but we'd need to attempt a diplomatic mission to get specific assistance from the "traditionalist" drow who still dwell in the Underdark. And they still worship Lolth.
So, here's the problem. These are Corellon's tenets:
* Cultivate beauty in all that you do, whether you’re casting a spell, composing a saga, strumming a lute, or practicing the arts of war.
* Seek out lost magic items, forgotten rituals, and ancient works of art. Corellon might have inspired them in the world’s first days.
* Thwart the followers of Lolth at every opportunity.
So, I'm still trying to think this through. This eladrin army would still be enemies of these drow, but they're also basically genocidal. But these Lolth-worshipping drow are also their enemies.
So, do I have her suddenly start aiding the evil eladrin? That won't work. They'll just kill my cleric. So, I think that means that's not an opportunity to thwart the followers of Lolth, in the strictest sense, right? Because if I just go and try to help and die, that's not thwarting anyone.
So, I think I just need to have her participate in this diplomatic mission, but watch for opportunities to fuck over the drow. I need to think more.
