I have to admit that I've changed my mind about Arnie. Yesterday, in that meeting in Overlook, I really wanted to use my new prayer on him but fortunately, after an angry look, he decided to shut the hell up for a while.
Now that finally Emtih told him that we know about his book, I think he made a valid point that his writings are "based on the truth". He just needed a reminder that he may not use our names in his stories (I would be even happier if he uses my name and tells the real story...). He also claims that he has been drunk and he doesn't remember about the stories that he has made in Overlook. Given how frightened he was when the whole party (including two not-so-friendly-dragonborns) were intimidating him, I believe that he was telling the truth.
Today, he did a really good job fighting those orcs but, after a few epic moves, he decided to copy my style but, of course, he was not a tank and I ended up using my divine forces to prevent his death.
I think he is a good fighter and certainly far from dark forces and that is all I need to know. Only time will tell if the hard feelings about him will remain in the party or not. Narcissism is not that dangerous after all.

Did you get Arnie out of the tavern by telling him that there's nothing more motivating than fighting with a bad hangover :)
ReplyDeleteArel is a very interesting character, I'm never sure of his intentions of motivations. It's not often i have a PC in my campaign who's response to a situation I can not predict. Makes for a nice sense of mystery.
ReplyDeleteAlso nice WCIII quote.
I see you have an appetite for destruction.
