Jerome 10-19-2000 09:17 AM

THIS THREAD IS SURE TO ATTRACT MOST OF THE AUDIENCE WHO HAVE BEEN WATCHING OUR DUEL WITH INTREST... FOR THEM I HAVE SAD NEWS.

JEROME THE PALADIN IS....................DEAD. I SHALL TELL YOU THE SAD CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH HE PASSED AWAY.

JEROME WAS ORDERED TO ATTEND THE MEETING OF THE HIGH COUNCIL OF THE ORDER OF THE MOST RADIANT HEART. THEY LAID BATTLE PLANS AND TALKED LOUDLY ABOUT HOLINESS AND BEING WELL HARD WARRIORS LONG INTO THE WEE HOUR OF THE MORNING. I WAS ORDERED TO SLAY AN ENTIRE VILLAGE BECAUSE THEY OPPOSED A RASIE IN TAXES... THEY HAD TO BE MADE AN EXAMPLE OF.

THESE VILLAGERS WERE PENILESS TO BEGIN WITH, THEY COULDEN'T HANDLE ANOTHER TAX INCEASE, I REALISED THAT THESE PALADINS STOOD NOT FOR GOOD BUT IN FACT THEY WERE JUST ANOTHER FRONT FOR EVIL. AFTER I SLAYED ALL OF THE COUNCIL I RENOUNCED ME PALADINSHIP AND HAVE NOW EMBARKED ON A QUEST TO DESTROY THESE SO CALLED "CRUSADERS OF JUSTICE"

MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED, I REALISE NOW THAT EVIL IS NOTHING MORE THAN TRYING TO ACHIVE THE MOST OUT OF LIFE. MY FRIENDS, MY ALLIES, MY ENIMIES I JEROME THE EX-PALADIN HERBY LAUNCH AN ASSULT AGAINST THE FORCES OF GOOD... BEING EVIL IS WAY COOLER AND A LOT MORE FUN.

A PRICE HAS BEEN OFFERED ON MY HEAD, THE GOODLY FOOLS WISH ME DEAD BUT I SHALL ALWAYS BE THERE LURKIING IN THE DEEPEST SHADOWS. MY ONCE PROUD CASTLE HAS BEEN WARPED, FIRE NOW FILLS THE MOAT WHERE MY NEW PET SALAMANDERS SWIM, A DARK SKY SURROUNDS MY HOME, LIGHTINING STRIKING THOSE WHO DARE HARM ME. NEW ALLIANCES WITH A GUILD OF NECROMANCERS HAVE GRANTED ME AN ARMY OF UNDEAD WARRIORS... BEWARE GOOD, ONE WHO KNOWS ALL YOUR WEAKNESSES WALKS AMONG YOU. THERE SHALL BE NO STOPPING ME.

TIPSY, I HAVE A QUESTION: I MET UP WITH ONE OF YOUR FEMALE *FRIENDS* LAST NIGHT, WHEN I AWOKE I FOUND MY VERY PRECIOUS SWORD MISSING... ANY IDEA WHEN YOU COULD GIVE IT BACK???

THOSE OF AN EVIL DISPOSITION HEED MY CALL; IF EVER YOU HAVE A CRUSADE AGAINST GOOD AND YOU NEED SOME MUSCLE YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME... JUST FOLLOW THE TRAIL OF CORPSES.

SO SAYETH JEROME THE EVIL EX-PALADIN

Tipsy McSwagger 10-19-2000 09:24 AM

Let me guess, Sylvia right? Don't sweat it, she always lifts a few coins from me purse when she leaves. You really have to nail things down when she's around. I hadn't planned on seeing her today but seeing how you asked so nicely. The things I do fer people.

I'll have it back to ye later on this afternoon.

Oh and sorry about the whole slaughtering yer kin thing. Tough break.

Drink up.

-Tipsy

Jerome 10-19-2000 09:31 AM

I'LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR HER IN THE FUTURE... ANY MORE YOU CAN RECOMMEND???

BTW I'M ATTACKING THE ORDER'S TRESUARY TONIGHT, CARE TO JOIN ME? THE REWARDS ARE WELL WORTH IT.

SO SAYETH.... AH BUGGER IT I CANT SAY THIS ANYMORE!

gunner 10-19-2000 09:32 AM

this sux as i really have to go to bed, work and all that crap
this would be a very good tread to watch.

to the ex paladin
i don't know how to take such a change. is it for real or is it a trick so he can backstab when the guard is down, but then that is pretty evil so maybe he has turned. welcome to the real world.

ok night all

have a beer for me both of you

Asphyxiate 10-19-2000 10:35 AM

*looks up from book*

What a pleasant surprise, don't see much of that nowadays.
A fallen Paladin, how quaint!

*goes back to book*

TDZHON 10-19-2000 11:36 AM

Oh what tragedy! I liked the evil-bashing Paladin! I hope you do not continue your slide into the Dark Side of the Force...

And I was so looking forward to a fun fight, I really think the pure half-orc fighter knows no equal in combat.

The only char that could be REALLY dangerous in a duel w/o magic items is the Monk. At level 20 you have 4 hands of death per day - and the monk has an ac of -9 at that level... w/o armor, the figher with 18 dex has an ac of 6. Chances are, the monk will kill you in one round.

Jerome 10-19-2000 11:53 AM

THE EVIL IT...... IT CONSUMES ME

EVERY HOUR I GROW DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE INFERNAL PIT OF HELLFIRE, MY FIGURE IS CHANGING, I HAVE ACCEPTED THE DARK TAINT IN MY SOUL. I WORK TO TURN MYSELF INTO THE SLAYER FOR THE REST OF MY DARK DAYS...... DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS TO GET HUMAN FLESH OUT FROM UNDER THESE CLAWS ITS BLOODY ANNOYING

ALL OF YOU SHALL BURN IN HELL WHEN THE DARK AVENGER STRIDES ACROSS THE LAND!!!

DAMMABLE DOUBLE POSTING, I SHALL HUNT DOWN THE DOGS THAT DONE THIS AND MAKE NEW WARRIOIR FROM THEIR SULLEN HIDES!

Larr2 10-19-2000 01:23 PM

I have been in this thing since the beginning, so I knew that you guys expected me to say something in regards to our dear Jerome....yet....I am speechless....WOW!!!
(This will be quite the interesting line of events, soon to come)
I do have one question for Jerome, though...(do I know thee? Do we share a common friend, named G. Moody?...if not, forgive my pestilence, sir!)

Tobbin 10-19-2000 02:00 PM

Facinating. If not to say the least. You have foresworn all allegiance to good? Perhaps your journey to the side of evil does not have to take away your Paladinhood. Swear allegiance to Erythnul and he will look deep into your soul. He will decide whether your allegiance truth or lie. He offers many benefits to the Anti-Paladin. Your battle against former friends can be on equal grounds. You will gain a protection from good effect. Gain your ability to Lay On Hands. Throughout your journey, you may prove proof to gain other abilities as well. Just to let you know. His look into your soul will change you forever though. Should you lie, it will most likely cost you your life.

Outlaw 10-19-2000 02:16 PM

Ahh Dear Jerome, I am glad you attained your new wisdom in joining our ranks.. An old wise man once said to me what I say to you:

"One must seek the cold of the darkness when one has been burned by the light."

Join with your brothers and sisters of darkness in striking out against the hypocrisy of the “light lovers”; claim what is yours Jerome! Take what you deserve!
Read my proverb in my signature and realize not only do the king and pawn return to the same box once the game has ended so do both sides light and dark.. Know that your falling from the light matters little in the grand scheme of things do not be swayed by those that have been mislead into following some false Holy or goodly cause.. Those Paladins you hate so much have taken their turn and wasted it, It's your move Jerome put them in Check.

And on another note, doesn't the Dark Avenger have such a nice ring to it?

Zlinky 10-19-2000 04:03 PM

How can he turn evil and still be so pompous, gods, if this is the best evil 'maniacs' can do I'm retiring - or joining Tipsy's gang? Which to do........

Jerome 10-20-2000 07:04 AM

MY FALL CONTINUES.... SEVERAL ASSASINS HAVE BEEN SENT TO KILL ME NONE LIVE TO TELL THE HORRORS OF MY DARK AND EVIL LAIR.
MY PET BEHOLDERS LIE IN WAIT FOR THE NEXT PITIFUL FOOLS TO ARRIVE, I DON'T FEED THEM NATRUALLY.

G.MOODY? I KNOW OF A MOODY BUT THE FIRST NAME PUZZLES ME.
ERYTHNUL EH? WHAT SERVICES WOULD I REQUIRE TO DO TO GAIN HIS FAITH. DOES IT INVOLVE MANY DEATHS OF PALADINS AND OTHER WORSHIPERS OF THE LIGHT?? IF SO I'VE KILLED MANY WITH MORE TO COME.

OUTLAW I LIKE YOUR STYLE, COME TO MY DARK CASTLE I MAY HAVE SOME INTRESTING PROPERSITIONS FOR YOU....

SO SAYETH JEROME THE DARK AVENGER (I LOVE IT!!!!)

A Mage named Rikard 10-20-2000 03:03 PM

Even I, chaotich Necromancer Can see the Ways of the good
Howcome thy a paladi cannot see it
They who have done you wrong were not the real Good
Thy must see it and together we will Destroy evil

SO Sayeth me
so listen goddammed

Jerome 10-20-2000 04:23 PM

YOU KNOW NOTHING OF *GOOD* NECROMANCER, IT IS MERLEY A FONT FOR SELF-ESTEEM , EVIL HOWEVER IS WORKING FOR ONES OWN GOOD AND WAY MORE FUFILLING.

MY ASSORTED FIENDS ARE GETTING HUNGRY, EVEN YOUR BRITTLE OLD BONES WOULD SATISFIY THEM DONT MAKE ME TURN YOU INTO DEMON FOOD

SO SAYETH JEROME THE DARK AVENGER

IRAKZAI 10-20-2000 08:59 PM

Cogradulations Jerome and welcome to the the world of Anti-Paladinship.

Evil can be so much fun, the only problem is that you can't trust anyone, not even dear old mum, and those hounds of ill omen can be so pesky.

Good luck in your new career, and watch your six.

UnForGiven 10-21-2000 01:28 AM

You people do realise this is just a game dont you? btw, who actually won in the jerome vs tipsy match anyways? You, know, in this game it is really irrelevent whether you are good or evil. There is no diffrence between a good mage and an evil one (exept for the robe of the good and robe of the bad archmage which do exactly the same thing mind you). In a game like jedi knight it would make a diffrence as to what side you chose, in bg2, it dusnt. Anyway, continue your little fantasies if that is what you want, I care little.

The righteous will inherit the earth...

ldemon 10-21-2000 06:00 AM

Unforgiven ... you know you're playing a Role Playing Game don't ya?

Emphasis on the Role Playing bit!

Jerome 10-21-2000 01:09 PM

DOSN'T MATTER!!!!!!!! HAVE YOU PLAYED THIS GAME AT ALL?

EVERYONE LOVE THE "GOOD GUYS" AND HEAP AFFECTION AND PRAISE ON THEM WHEREVER THEY TRAVEL WHILE "BAD GUYS" ARE HATED YET FEARED THROUGHT THE LAND (IF YOU DO IT RIGHT)

THE EVIL QUESTS ARE MORE FUN I THINK AND THE SHEER INDULGENCE YOU CAN HAVE IS BRILLIANT! DONT LIKE A PEASENTS VOICE? KILL HIM! DO THE GUARDS COME AFTER YOU? KILL THEM TOO. ITS ALL A MATTER OF PREFERENCE BUT THE GOOD SHALL PERISH BEFORE MY DARK BLADE!

SO SAYETH JEROME THE DARK AVENGER

A Mage named Rikard 10-21-2000 01:20 PM

Jerome -> ■■■■ you

Outlaw 10-21-2000 03:32 PM

Well I am certainly impressed with your profound remarks Rikard. In a world where everyone is trying to raise the bar, it's good to see someone blazing a trail lowering it back to the simian level.

Although don't let my words dismay you, we could always use another Necromancer in our ranks. In the forces of Evil you will have many willing and not so willing subjects to experiment on. With Jerome on our side I'm sure you'll have no problem with being supplied corpses either. Throw out all those qualms about raising the dead and disturbing the soul’s rest.

Just, something you should think about.

Jerome 10-21-2000 03:56 PM

OUTLAW, YOUR STYLE AND WIT IMPRESSES ME, YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT REPRESENTITIVE FOR THE SIDE OF DARKNESS!

NECROMANCER, EVEN THE VERY WALLS THEMSELVES YAWN IN ANTICIPATOPN OF YOUR NEXT GREAT POST, THE ENTIRE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AWAIT IN EAGER STATES OF READINESS TO HEAR YET ANOTHER WONERFULLY WITTY COMMENT FROM THE MASTER OF COMEBACKS, PLEASE DONT KEEP US IN SUSPENCE...

GOOD POINT OUTLAW THIS GUY WOULD BETTER SERVE US AS A LICH! HOW ABOUT IT NECROMANCER...

SO SAYETH JEROME THE DARK AVENGER

Larr2 10-21-2000 05:10 PM

Hey Rikard...I think he's pissed...

A necromancer can say far more intelligent things than that, right ??

Jerome's evil influence is beginning to beacon to you, for his words are sweet with promise to what you may become, within his ranks...


I mean, how many good-aligned necromancers are there in the world ??
They seem to be dying off...

UnForGiven 10-22-2000 01:50 AM

Ok, I will play along with this little game.(dont take too much offense to any of this)

Jerome, your poor excuse to join the path of evil discusts me. The true reason that you joined the evil side is because you are to much of a coward to face them. Because of the large number of evil ones against you, you figured that if you cant beat em, you will simply join em. I find it hard to believe that a true, brave honest paladin could change his whole outlook on life with such ease. It seemed your choice to join the ranks of evil was a quick and rushed one. Your excuse showed how much of a coward you really are. You are weak because you choose the simple path above the difficult one. Why is it that you have to yell out your messages? Is it because no one will bother listening to weakling like you otherwise? You choose the winning team if you are losing. And evil ones, why do you exept this outcast with such haste? Is it not apparent that our former friend here is too weak to stick with his own brethren? Or maybe he fits right in with you, maybe all of you are to weak to chose the path of righteousness because of the hard opposition like our former friend Jerome here? Maybe not. I suggest you rethink your decision to exept this fallen paladin as he seems not to be able to stick with his own. But i will leave that up to you to decide. We will speak more in the future, im sure of it....

A Mage named Rikard 10-22-2000 03:06 AM

Thy words are true Jerome Maybe it is hard to be a good necro
Because of that Rikard
is no more a good-allignent necromancer

BTW Larrry I don't feel i have to say anything to that Jerome guy

Oh yeah Jerome Prepare for the wrath of the new Rikard Sorcerer of the good

Erekose 10-22-2000 03:06 AM

I think that fallen Paladins are rather weak. They no longer have any thing that really makes them special except their rather long winded dialogues. Perhaps Jerome will be able to become a blackguard under 3rd Edition rules but that fact remains that Paladins (as with all alignments) are a challenge to play. Becoming a fallen paladin is a sign that the player really wasn't up to the standard required.
Cheers

A Mage named Rikard 10-22-2000 03:09 AM

BTW Larry as Jerome is of the path of good thy can join us for real
Let's all destroy the evil mage Asphysiate the admire And Evil Will
not have anythinmg to stand on

And UnForGiven you are good right????

Jerome 10-22-2000 07:20 AM

YOUR WORDS, THEY CONFUSE ME! WHICH PATH TO TAKE? EVIL IS SO....SO....SATISFIYING BUT EVEN I MISS THOSE LONG RANTS ABOUT JUSTICE, (AND THOSE GREAT BATTLES OF WORDS WITH THE THIEF)...HMMMM I'LL HAVE TO THINK OVER THIS PREHAPS JUSTICE BECKONS ME ONCE AGAIN BUT CAN I RENOUNCE MY FALLEN PALADINSHIP SO EASILY?.....

SO SAYETH JEROME THE PALADIN? DARK AVENGER??
