    Aandilar's eyes narrow in anger.
    "Which? You already suspect that I've been sent here by some girl, if you have to ask what crime I'm here about, I have to believe that you've committed more than one type of horrible crime. I can't just let you keep walking about so you can commit further atrocities."

    "Accusation is not the same as conviction. I have been accused of such diverse things as illicit relations with a fiend, murder, worship of dark powers, theft, aron, murder, rape, and, of all things, littering. I daresay that it would be truly impressive if I could manage all of those things from my small home. At the moment, most of the people I know who are powerful enough to take a hit out on my head are female. The man most likely to want to send a young vigilante after me would have armed you better than this. Thus, I am reasonably sure it is a woman."

    "I am sure you don't want to believe a word I say. Righteous indignation, I am sure. I'll bet that there's nothing I can say which will convince you that I am innocent of the accusation. But ask yourself, on what do you base your judgment of my guilt? I dearly hope it's more than just the word of one person. If you really want to bring justice to the streets, make sure to investigate the facts so that you know that you're not being deceived by a good liar."

    Aandilar waits until he thinks Hagran isn't looking, then slowly draws his light crossbow under the table, trying not to make any noise or get noticed.

    Do you do fractional BAB and saves? I just realized how horribly all over the place my BAB and saves are going to be otherwise. If so, at the moment that would add one to my attack rolls, and subtract one from my will saves.

    You fire your bolt and strike true. However, the bolt barely pierces his skin. He looks at it for a moment, takes the bolt out, and says, "Look, I'll give you a chance to leave before you hurt yourself. You're not equipped for this fight."

    That's fine, just figured I'd check, some people consider it so integral that it goes without saying, some think that it's a bad set of rules and don't wish to use them. I happen to fall somewhere in the middle.


    "Never, you've hurt too many people for me to let you get continue breathing." Aandilar is shocked at the bolt not hurting the man, and quickly runs through his mind for what might have caused it, and how to combat it. (I'm assuming that he's of high enough level to have DR from Warlock, but IC I don't know that.) He drops his crossbow, and while he works on that in the back of his mind, he reaches for his magic and sends forth a bolt of energy, then closes in.

    You quickly take stock of what could have caused him to ignore that damage, and quickly realize that you are dealing with a warlock of at least moderate talent. He likely has a spell or two at his disposal in the form of an invocation. Furthermore, his eldritch blast can be quite deadly.

    Your missile flies at him and impacts squarely in his chest. He grunts from the impact but does not appear to be that badly injured from it.

    You advance right next to him.

    "Boy, that was a mistake." He says. He begins to cast an invocation at you, providing you an opportunity to attack.

    Spoiler
    Show
    full 3 damage was dealt, just not a major chunk of his hp from that.

    AoO for you, if you can take it. Also roll a will save in case the invocation goes off.

    Aandilar is currently unarmed, and realizes it immediately. I need to get a weapon out, and fast. He braces himself for some form of assault from the invocation.

    forgot to mention that you could roll spellcraft to ID the effect.


    You feel a gentle presence enter your mind, and suddenly, you don't know why you were so hostile towards him. He's been nothing but patient and kind to you, and he hasn't even retaliated against you for your hostilities. Perhaps attacking him isn't the best idea.

    After all, he seems quite reasonable and would like to help.

    Spoiler
    Show
    you are under a charm effect. You now regard him as a friend and ally, unwilling to commit hostile action against him so long as he doesn't do anything to break the effect. Besides that, you are still you and recall everything from before. It's just that he's now your new best friend for the duration of the spell.

Why don't you bring Miss Evensnow by so she and I can talk about things and find out why she's really upset with me. If she'd prefer, you can come too to help make her less nervous. Sound reasonable?

    Aandilar's the type that his word means a lot to, had to look at the charm subtype description to make sure I didn't auto-break that just by him suggesting Aandilar break his word. Also... Aandilar never said anything about it being Evensnow

    yes you did.

    the only thing which breaks a charm is him or his allies directly threatening you. Your thing about oaths means that you're not going to just go jump up and do as he asks, but it doesn't break the charm effect by itself. You now have the dilemma that you've promised to kill your best friend.


    "Miss Evensnow is a very disturbed young woman. She needs help. Apparently, she thinks I raped her. You say you have 'other sources' that corroborate her. What are they? If they were serious enough to convince you to take an oath to kill me, they must be very reliable."

    "Al-alright, Aandilar says, I'll go see if I can find her." Aandilar stutters. He turns to leave and goes back to his room at the Hanged Man, goes up to his room and meditates, trying to figure out how he's going to deal with this. He feels torn and indecisive, as he really wants to be able to keep his word, but he doesn't want to kill his friend.

    OOC:
    Sorry about the wait, I was trying to figure out how Aandilar would react to that. I'm used to playing stealthy characters that wouldn't have gone in like that. Aandilar is totally different than that though.

    Aandilar is shocked at the boldness of her words, and it probably shows.

    "I'd definitely be willing to go out and do things with you Aveline."
    He pauses for a moment before continuing. Then spews his next words at
    high speed.

    "I was talking to this woman because she had asked for some help, and she said she was raped. So I had her tell me the story, and she told me who the guy was, and seemed really disturbed. She told me that he had done it before to other girls. She asked me to kill him, and I promised her that I would. So I went over to his house, which she told me where it was at, then I was talking to him, and he said that he didn't, but he boasted about being accused of a whole slew of crimes, but never convicted. Then I got angry and attacked him, and figured out he was a warlock. But then I realized that what he was saying really made sense, and I want to trust him. She was so disturbed though... I guess I came here to ask for help on what to do... She seemed so sincere, but Hagran was just so friendly and upright. I promised to kill him, and I don't want to break my word, without it, I'm nothing, but I don't think I can kill him..."
