Ah, but he is rather small, and very sneaky. Hell, he could be hiding under Shana's barstool, getting his knife out to play.....

Cool. Let's get the Star Trek fight music ready for the Shana-Threan faceoff.

Is Shana a green skinned Orion slave girl? Will Master Threan wrassle her, Kirk style?

Guess Ino is the only one who still likes Threen! Or at least wants to understand why he did that :roll:

You mean why, after learning that Delthrin was a diabolist and necromancer, he betrayed the devil-summoner's vanquishers to his allies?

I admit to a mild curiosity, but mostly it seems pretty obvious.

Well, he was fairly open about his motivations. He was prepared to investigate Delthrin's house over smuggling, but when he discovered that Rardi and Ino had no certain knowledge of a crime he reported them to the local bailiff. Thus, he is Lawful.

He displayed no interest in Delthrin's necromancy or, more seriously, diabolism, and certainly considered stopping such practices no cuse for lawbreaking. Thus, he is Evil.

He behaved as he did because he is Lawful Evil. With neutral tendencies to be fair: he puts himself out to protec those engaged on LAwful business. Thoug he is very casual about the brutalisation of prisoners he considerd criminals.

As the exa ct opposite alignment, he wont get on with Shana!

So who brutalized prisoners hmm (Rardi maybe) ? Who actually hit a prisoner ?

Who broke into the house of a powerful mage without actual proof of any wrong doing on said mages part ?

Who did not give their prisoner a chance to defend himself with his own words ?

Who was acting as Judge and Jury against someone with out evidence ?
Who let out Brain Eating fiend to kill again ?

Said mage was thought to be dead by that point .

He was hired to consult on smuggling case .

If you are going to have trap that summons something ? What would you summon between a good outsider or an evil one . I for one would summon a evil outsider as they less susceptible to being talked around .

I know that you cannot actually rest wearing a splint mail but Ino no! :P Forgive her ignorance it's the 1st time she wears an armor! :P
I just thought that she would have preferred sleep with the splint instead of being tied again. When she realizes that is worse she will get it off :lol:

Rardi hit a prisoner who had been overpowered in the act of siccing undead on the party. An unfortunate act, which doubtless needs a bit of repentence and reflection. Pales into insignificance, however, compared to the Bailiff's men, who used lethal force on peacefully surrendered and bound prisoners:
The man in front of Rardi looses a bolt straight into her chest. The force of the strike is enough to drive the wind from the dwarf's lungs. The spearman standing near him steps forward and stabs Rardi in the leg, opening a nasty cut on her right thigh.

Ino feels an impact in her left flank. The kindly-voiced man has struck her with his dagger. She can see his face as he drives the blade into her- his eyes are wild with fear! Then, a split second later, the man in front of her jerks the trigger of his crossbow, and she's struck in the right arm.


The archers and crossbowmen on the low bluff concentrate fire on Blaise and Ironheart. Blaise is lightly wounded, but Ironheart is hit worse. The big man has caught a pair of bolts with his chest
With Threan's complete approval:
"The Dwarf can stay injuried as far as I'm concerned . The big guy is just crazy so he just stay as he is . I was mainly talking about the your people in the militia ."
Who broke into the house of a powerful mage without actual proof of any wrong doing on said mages part ?
You are aware that necromancy is one of the most vile acts any being can commit? Even murder is at least over quickly, but warping someone's immortal soul into a tortured tool and leaving them trapped, dead but unable to die, indefinitely is far more horrible. And Ino and Rardi suspected that he was doing this to a child. Rightly, it rather seems.
Who did not give their prisoner a chance to defend himself with his own words ?
Regrettable again, but he had been caught in the act. And they did not kill him: they turned him over to someone he had been torturing. Of course, had they known what an Illithid was they might well not have done that, but sadly they did not.
Who was acting as Judge and Jury against someone with out evidence ?
There was absolutely irrefutable evidence of necromancy and diabolism, two of the worst sins any creature can commit.
If you are going to have trap that summons something ? What would you summon between a good outsider or an evil one . I for one would summon a evil outsider as they less susceptible to being talked around .
You're talking about raising a fiend as if it's casting a fireball. A devil isn't some inanimate component of a handly little trap, its an emissary of the Nine Hells, formed from the fabric of that plane, whose only purpose is to spread as much misery, tyranny and evil as possible. In many ways, it IS tyranny and evil, given form and thought. Summoning a fiend into the world is the single most evil thing that anyone can do, bar none.

And Threan's excuse for doing it is that an emissary of Good would probably decide that following his purposes would not be the right thing to do, whereas a fiend would be happy to cooperate? Master Threan might want to think very very carefully about the implications of that.

Threan could easily be Lawful Good.
