[quote=@boomlover] she was more panicked st the fact that i screwed her over. So no. No repercussions. [/quote] Interesting. Well, despite the fact that the first RP ended without a hitch, there were repercussions in store for me. As well as repercussions for those repercussions. payback can be a vicious cycle. The same GM decides to do a sequel of this RP. (Why, I don't know. But I guess I'm equally foolish for joining.) So once again, the big bad nasty has to take over the world, and my dragon emperor is the primary obstacle in the antagonist's path. GM wisely dispatched a new player to use his antagonist character to kill the dragon emperor. Let's call this sub-antagonist "Thorn." On paper, this would have never worked. There was no way Thorn could take down the dragon emperor, he just wasn't strong enough. But if he failed, one of the new role player's best characters would be killed or otherwise incapacitated for the rest of the story. Quite the conundrum, one of my favorite characters from the last RP or one of my favorite ones from this RP were going to meet their maker. Interesting development to note, the new player hated the current direction of the RP as much as I did. Particularly the main antagonist. We decided to have the dragon emperor fall. It was done in an interesting way, where Thorn offered to carry out a wish on the dragon king's behalf. He wished for his guardian to be escorted out of the country, and Thorn kept to his word. Another interesting development was that the dragon emperor had a portable trap that vaporized dark magic, and Thorn took this with him. I may be spoiling too much, but I'd like to note that the main antagonist is a dark spell caster. So the GM collaborates with the new player, his antagonist congratulates Thorn on a job well done. However, their meeting goes south when the main antagonist decides he wants to deviate from his own plan a little bit. This upsets Thron, who deploys the anti-dark magic trap. Thorn then proceeds to take the powerless mage in his hands and poetically ends him by stabbing him with one of the dragon king's own fangs, collected as proof of death. It was [i]very[/i] Sweeney Todd. Admittedly this was not the same "surprise attack" kind of thing I did in the first RP. The new user did have to do some talking with the GM to make them realize the current direction of the RP wouldn't work. So even though we set all that stuff up, it was the new player's OOC diplomacy skills that made the whole thing work.
