THE DEATH OF JEROME THE PALADIN

[Jerome]

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

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.

[Jerome]

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!

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

*looks up from book*

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

*goes back to book*

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.

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!

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!)
