There would probably be zero punishment from the kingdom for killing a dark elf. Dark elves are universally hated/reviled and do not have protections.

And even if one did have some form of protections (say from paying taxes), there would be a huge incentive for the people in power to look the other way, or not investigate too closely if that dark elf went missing.

I know if Llyshon were still alive, you wouldn't live the event. He didn't have the hatred dark elves flaw. He hated them for IG reasons. He would have killed you as soon as he saw you, and there wouldn't have been a chance for RP, just a string of point-cast death effects, and no body left to resurrect.


I think this is going to make for some GREAT RP though, and i'm glad that you chose to come back after I retired.

Yes, actually! Very interested. I would need to find a ride but I could do that.

The reason I am trying to do more LARPing is that I discovered some time ago some very scary statistics. And that is that stay at home or work from home fathers like me are 86% more likely to develop terminal illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, etc if they do not also have some form of "violent" hobby. They had reccomended paintball/airsoft, etc. Since there is already heart disease in my family, and I am overweight anyway that scared the hell out of me so I am endeavoring to be more active. I play Kanar religiously but I am finding that 3 days out of a month is not enough. And I can feel the hypertension and stress build up. I love my kids dearly, but I need more time out of the house.

It would be good to spar with some people from another game too. I had to adjust a bit when I came to CARPS because Kanar fighters tend to hit harder and are a lot more aggressive, and I really don't want to hurt anyone.

My Skype which is also my phone is VTV115, or you can just call me on it at 586-623-5549.

But then again you never really know. Nalfein grew on Kathryn after Mary and I questioned him pretty heavily and decided he wasn't a threat.

That is really all I want to do. I want to help create fun and epic stories. I understand it will be hard, but my goal will always be to make sure every single player involved has a lot of fun. Including the ones trying to kill me. :)

I have some ideas I sent to the GM and hopefully there will be a way to make this easier for everyone. Both my character and myself are horrified at the idea of anyone losing their character over this. I played a VERY successful assassin character at Kanar and murdered countless PC's. I eventually as an RPer became ashamed of it. I really really hate taking people's characters away from them and strive to find other solutions.

Man I still remember you and I fighting in that one module. Side by side. You were wielding a Bastard Sword I think? And fighting in a proper skirt. If I remember right it was like only you and me? I don't remember what we were fighting but I remember that being a defining moment for our character's relationships.

Oh, Ken - the player, would feel absolutely awful about perming you. I don't like player killing. But it would be dictated by RP, and I hate to say it, but Llyshon was very racist against Dark Elves and killed them on sight. We all have our faults.

But like I said, i'm glad you don't have to worry about him. It should make for some interesting stories.

Its not just lyshon that hates dark elves on the high end. At least two of the Mal'K will kill on sight... PC'ing a race that has earned a total hatred is really hard... as it pushed PCs who don't like to PK out of character to not just kill for the sake of another character. Ehh... lets just hope rooks stays to loaded to know what is happening.

Who said anything about regret? I just don't think I have it in me to do what I used to. I had the chance to reset an entire game just a few years ago and frankly couldn't bring myself to do it.

Come to find out, what I did do so completely demoralized most people that pentag woulda preferred it over finishing them... and so he did. Brad however felt a little bit like an assholio... Still, we did have alot of fun cannabalizing and torturing the heroes.... Hmmmmm
