A Paladin's Code

[Jonoth]

You wake up, the Light has abandoned you, and you are undead. What do you do?

The above, only you're a Death Knight. What do you do upon regaining the ability to control yourself again, after slaughtering countless innocents in the name of the Lich King?

Scenario 1 Wrote:You find yourself walking alone on the road, fully equipped and ready for battle, when a group of three bandits with firearms ambush you. They don't attack just yet, but say they will if they don't receive sufficient pay. Sufficient pay being all the money on your person, and the most valuable item you have on your person. What do you do?

I question to see if they might be working with The Burning Legion. I begin interrogation to find out who their masters are. If they refuse to answer, I throw my hammer at one of them, and attack the other. I probably die in this process, but it is a good death because I was fighting The Burning Legion! Probably.

Scenario 2 Wrote:Going down the streets of your home city, a beggar dressed in rags asks for coin. She tells an unlikely (but possible) story concerning the unfortunate fate of her family, and why she's there in the first place. What do you do?

I look around to make sure this isn’t some Burning Legion trick. Satisfied, I give her some money and point her to the nearest Alliance recruitment office. The Alliance always needs soldiers! No need for her to be a beggar.

Scenario 3 Wrote:You go into your home to find that a single bandit is attempting to rob it. He's without weapons, and makes it abundantly clear that he'll beat you down to leave with what he's got, having a large, heavy burlap sack slung over his shoulder. If you have a family, you know they should be at home at the time, but you can't see them, nor do they respond to your calls. What do you do?

(No family.)

I wonder if he might be a servant working for the Burning Legion, and immediately attack him! I then tie him to a chair and begin interrogation, asking him if he is working for a Burning Legion cult. I check the bag and ask him why he needed these items, was it for a ritual!? Satisfied he is not working for the Burning Legion, I then arrest him and turn him over to the nearest Alliance patrol or guards.

Scenario 4 Wrote:Someone uses a cuss word in your immediate vicinity. What do you do?

Check to see if perhaps he will continue, maybe he will go into a chant or summon some Burning Legion minion. He doesn’t and I continue on my way.

Scenario 5 Wrote:You use a cuss word involuntarily (it slips). What do you do?

Nothing involuntary about it…

Scenario 6 Wrote:Awakening from what seemed like a long slumber, you look down at the ground. A woman and a man lay dead at your feet, both unarmed, your weapon bloodied. It's obvious they were innocent civilians upon inspecting them. What do you do?

Report to my superior that I had one of my “Burning Legion” episodes again. I get severely chastised, punished, and threatened to be thrown out of the Alliance army. I periodically go to the site of their buried and pay respects and penance, whether I’m in the army or not.

Scenario 7 Wrote:Your faction leader bans worship of the Light within your faction. What do you do?

Question if perhaps he is working with the Burning Legion… I begin to draw up plans for capture and interrogation, and ask fellow paladins for assistance.

Scenario 8 Wrote:Your race/home/country/yougettheidea breaks away from your faction (Alliance/Horde). What do you do?

I shrug. The Alliance is all I care about.

Scenario 9 Wrote: For the sake of this, we'll say your paladin had a relatively normal sex life up until this date, perhaps before becoming a paladin, and is a man. Right now, regardless of your character's financial state or if he's with anyone, a woman who you were with in the past comes to your doorstep with son/daughter close behind, saying that she can't raise -your- child on her own anymore, and needs support. But she refuses to relinquish the child in any way. Said child does resemble you strongly, and likely is yours. What do you do?

I look at the child for a bit. Isn’t he cute… look at his little tendrils… he’s even got my forehead OH LOOKIT DOSE EYES aww dey so big! Wait… I don’t remember having sex… I arrest the woman under suspicion of working with the Burning Legion and put the child into the custody of the Alliance (Hypax) where he would eventually go into the army. The woman would eventually be released, and the Alliance sends a notice to my supervisor to make sure “that crazy bastard” doesn’t do that again. The army forces me to pay the woman, and I call her an agent of the Burning Legion, more specific, a succubus. The army takes the money out of my pay and sends it to her instead. I raise the child as best I can and train him (brainwash is a better word) to love and respect the Alliance and to become a paladin. He turns out A-okay! But then he turns me into the funny farm… little ungrateful…

Scenario 10 Wrote:You wake up, the Light has abandoned you, and you are undead. What do you do?

Kill myself.

Scenario 11 Wrote:The above, only you're a Death Knight. What do you do upon regaining the ability to control yourself again, after slaughtering countless innocents in the name of the Lich King?

I look at this as the opportunity of a lifetime! To serve the Alliance and the Holy Light even after death! I rejoin the Alliance army and fight under their flag once again. I swear an oath to serve and protect the Alliance to the best of my ability until death… again… I go on a crusade of repentance for having ever abandoned the Alliance, unwillingly or not. I probably don’t survive this. If I did, I would continue on, just not as a paladin. (my new catchphrase: even in death I still serve.)

Scenario 12 Wrote:Upon awakening from a drunken stupor, you find yourself in a greatly damaged bar. No one comes to you to ask for compensation for the part you had in it (you were drunk), but it's obvious that the establishment barely has enough money to still run, and this might sink it. What do you do?

I question the owner if there were any Burning Legion in here. I then question the owner if he is Burning Legion. Satisfied with his answer, I send a request and demand the Alliance to see if they will repair the damages to the bar. If they don’t, I point out the barman to the nearest Alliance army recruitment center.

Scenario 13 Wrote:The above scenario, only it's very clear the establishment is well enough to recover on its own.

I question the owner if there were any Burning Legion in here. I then question the owner if he is Burning Legion.

Scenario 14 Wrote:Your child is pregnant/has gotten someone pregnant, and is unmarried. What do you do?

As a paladin of the Alliance, I do what any good paladin should do: I interrogate the girl and ask her who raped her, be it boyfriend or Burning Legion cultist fanatic! I then ask if she has been in league with Burning Legion! After emotionally scarring the poor girl, I tell her that through due diligence will she raise this child. You can bet her ass she’ll make sure this shit don’t happen to the young’un.

Scenario 15 Wrote:Varjot is found sleeping with your spouse, and he/she/it is all too happy to receive him. Just by looking at what's going on, it's clear his ability at entertaining your spouse is far greater than your own. What do you do?

(I don’t know who varjot is… so I’ll just answer this assuming he’s just some guy…)

I immediately arrest Varjot and interrogate him to see if he has ties with the Burning Legion. I question his methods of perhaps trying to impregnate my wife and trying to make some sort of mutant Legion baby or some cultist leader. Satisfied he isn’t, I smack him with my hammer and toss his unconscious ass off my property.

Scenario 16 Wrote:You come across a group of people about to hang a man who they've accused of being a warlock. Someone 'might have maybe seen him turn into a demon'. What do you do?

I ask what I can do to help, show them how to tie a noose, and suggest burning him instead of hanging him. However, rationality finally takes hold and I also suggest first allowing me to interrogate the warlock, seeing as how they can be useful to the Alliance. I ask him if he has or has ever had ties to the Burning Legion. If he is not Burning Legion (which is highly probable…) I send him on his way and threaten anyone who tries to get him with arrest, congratulate them for their vigilance, and then suggest that they get the proper authority to take care of this matter instead of taking the law into their own hand.

Scenario 17 Wrote:Putting you in Aegwynn's shoes, your child has a demon resting within his soul, which will burst out and cause untold destruction once your offspring expires. However, while in the child's body, it will grant him/her great power, while otherwise not influencing the child at all (it won't corrupt him, it won't tempt him, nothing. Just giving him power). Removal/banishing of the demon, or suppression of these powers, will kill the child. What do you do?

Do I know it’s a demon? If yes, then kill the child to preserve the Alliance: Better for one to fall than an entire civilization. (Yes, he is that crazy.)

If I don’t know it’s a demon, train him in the ways of the light and send him off to be a great paladin.

Scenario 18 Wrote:The Archbishop/Leader of your Church has accused you of high treason, and has commanded you to report to him/her for your excommunication from the Light. You think you're innocent, but it's about 50/50 as to whether people think you're guilty or innocent for everyone else. What do you do?

Accuse the Archbishop of being in league with the Burning Legion, and accuse HIM of high treason. I state that I would never turn my back against the Light or the Alliance.

Scenario 19 Wrote:Your spouse, who you do love, and loves you, has given up on life. There's no consoling him/her, as the individual has completely surrendered. He/she doesn't leave home. Just sits there. Staring at a wall. Devoid of any emotion, yet still replies to questions. No progress can be made on this. What do you do?

Wonder, to myself of course, if she has been bewitched by Burning Legion magic. I go on a search to see if I can help the poor woman.

Scenario 20 Wrote:Someone you love is a spy from the opposing faction, and tells you this openly one day. Said individual refuses to leave this position, but refuses to give any reasoning as to why, other than just asking you to trust him/her. What do you do?

Call them Burning Legion scum and kill them on the spot.

Jesus Hypax is nuts...

[CappnRob]

I love this thread so much <3

As Cristovao is somehow my only paladin, all answers apply to him!

You find yourself walking alone on the road, fully equipped and ready for battle, when a group of three bandits with firearms ambush you. They don't attack just yet, but say they will if they don't receive sufficient pay. Sufficient pay being all the money on your person, and the most valuable item you have on your person. What do you do?

Attempt to talk them down, staying on the alert and defensive. If a fight occurs, subdue them nonlethally as best as possible. Giving them the money just feeds their bad habits, and they will either rob again or be killed if they let me go.

Going down the streets of your home city, a beggar dressed in rags asks for coin. She tells an unlikely (but possible) story concerning the unfortunate fate of her family, and why she's there in the first place. What do you do?

What am I doing in Lordaeron oh god
Offer to take them into my home for work, shelter and food. Simply giving a beggar a coin does not solve their problems or better prepare them for getting out of the situation.

You go into your home to find that a single bandit is attempting to rob it. He's without weapons, and makes it abundantly clear that he'll beat you down to leave with what he's got, having a large, heavy burlap sack slung over his shoulder. If you have a family, you know they should be at home at the time, but you can't see them, nor do they respond to your calls. What do you do?

Even if I am unarmed, the Light is my weapon. Daze him with the appropriate spells, then subdue him as quickly as possible. Knock him out if required, tie him down, and investigate the home. No matter what is found out, bring the criminal to the local authorities for whatever he has done.

Someone uses a cuss word in your immediate vicinity. What do you do?

Depends on the situation the swear is used. Particularly harsh language directed at someone who looks like they could use a break? Attempt to have the violator chill out tell him a thing or two about "Respect". Just a casual swear from whoever? Don't mind it.

You use a cuss word involuntarily (it slips). What do you do?

Dammit. Or, if the situation is really dire, shit.

Awakening from what seemed like a long slumber, you look down at the ground. A woman and a man lay dead at your feet, both unarmed, your weapon bloodied. It's obvious they were innocent civilians upon inspecting them. What do you do?

Panic, but only a little bit. Then, investigate, recollect, find the truth. It is impossible this would ever be done by your own will, something more sinister is at work here, and must be uncovered.

If at all possible, attempt a resurrection. If this fails, deliver them to their families for burial, and tell them nothing more or less than I truly know.

Your faction leader bans worship of the Light within your faction. What do you do?

Varian bans the Light? This must be a crazy dream. If not, then keep out of Alliance lands and stay to the true believers and followers. I am of the Alliance because it my culture, if it goes against my culture then it is the Alliance no more.

Your race/home/country/yougettheidea breaks away from your faction (Alliance/Horde). What do you do?

That would largely depend on the whyfors and the howcomes. As a human whose home was Lordaeron, the only possible situation are Lordaeron survivors breaking off from the Alliance, or all of the humans doing so. Given humans make up the majority of the Alliance, this could cause... problems. Pray to the Light for meditation and insight, but if having to choose between Stormwind or the Dwarves and Draenei, odds will likely favor the Dwarves and Draenei.

For the sake of this, we'll say your paladin had a relatively normal sex life up until this date, perhaps before becoming a paladin, and is a man. Right now, regardless of your character's financial state or if he's with anyone, a woman who you were with in the past comes to your doorstep with son/daughter close behind, saying that she can't raise -your- child on her own anymore, and needs support. But she refuses to relinquish the child in any way. Said child does resemble you strongly, and likely is yours. What do you do?

Count down until Diwaata kills me
Bring them into my home, and attempt to reconcile the conflicts that will definitely arouse from this as best as possible. My personal distaste for the situation is second to doing what is right. This should only last until the two can stand on their own again, as I am not wealthy enough to support so many people myself. Dragging us all down into poverty would be irresponsible.

You wake up, the Light has abandoned you, and you are undead. What do you do?

Make sure the Black harvest is nowhere nearby. If so, plan a daring escape from their fortress

Panic. No, seriously, Cristovao would panic. I'm breaking the first person immersion here because Cristovao is terrified of death and especially undeath, and succumbing to it would cause him to flip out.

After regaining some senses, hide. Hide, and plan the next steps. Forsaken is a condition, nothing more or less. I've accepted my mother, Flora, Lendri, and others. What I am does not change who I am, and I will still do the Light's work in whatever way I can. Either through arms without the Light, the Light without arms in the clergy, or become the first Undead Paladin. It could happen.

These issues will be brought to Diwaata after I myself find peace with them. I will not force her to stay with me if she so chooses.

The above, only you're a Death Knight. What do you do upon regaining the ability to control yourself again, after slaughtering countless innocents in the name of the Lich King?

Panic surprisingly less, and probably be full of much more righteous vigor. Being a death knight means being a victim of the greater evil, and all sins committed can be atoned for with actions. Dedicate all I have to destroying the Scourge, but do not lose sight of who I once was. Again: undeath is merely a condition.

Upon awakening from a drunken stupor, you find yourself in a greatly damaged bar. No one comes to you to ask for compensation for the part you had in it (you were drunk), but it's obvious that the establishment barely has enough money to still run, and this might sink it. What do you do?

Offer to rebuild what I can, with what skills I can offer. Make a monetary donation to restock the lost supplies.

The above scenario, only it's very clear the establishment is well enough to recover on its own.

Offer to rebuild, but hold off on the money.

Your child is pregnant/has gotten someone pregnant, and is unmarried. What do you do?

Do not quite treat the situation as a mistake or accident right off the bat. Assuming the child and lover are in a strong relationship, encourage them to stay strong throughout the endeavor. They are family all the same.

If this is the result of a one night stand or a fling, be far more dissapointed and disciplinary about it, but do not excommunicate the child by any means. Support them all the same, but do not let them forget the irresponsibility of this.

Varjot is found sleeping with your spouse, and he/she/it is all too happy to receive him. Just by looking at what's going on, it's clear his ability at entertaining your spouse is far greater than your own. What do you do?

Varjot is a dirty warlock and Diwaata despises orcs and warlocks, so this is clearly some sort of DEVILISH MIND CONTROL RAPE PLOT.

That said, mustn't give into rage. Raise hell, but be dignified for it. Nonlethal take down and kick his ass out.

You come across a group of people about to hang a man who they've accused of being a warlock. Someone 'might have maybe seen him turn into a demon'. What do you do?

Wave my authority around as a Knight of the Silver Hand to get some real hard evidence on the issue. If the guilty party is indeed guilty, then he must be left to suffer the punishments of his actions. Compassion and mercy are to be given freely, but so too must people be responsible for their own choices in life.

Putting you in Aegwynn's shoes, your child has a demon resting within his soul, which will burst out and cause untold destruction once your offspring expires. However, while in the child's body, it will grant him/her great power, while otherwise not influencing the child at all (it won't corrupt him, it won't tempt him, nothing. Just giving him power). Removal/banishing of the demon, or suppression of these powers, will kill the child. What do you do?

Nothing is for certain, and all things can be changed. The child will not be killed, and when the inevitable arrives, do all that must be done to subdue any harm that may be caused, and exorcise the evil by any means. Never give up hope.

In the meanwhile, the child is to be raised like any other. His natural affinity for power will not excuse laziness.

The Archbishop/Leader of your Church has accused you of high treason, and has commanded you to report to him/her for your excommunication from the Light. You think you're innocent, but it's about 50/50 as to whether people think you're guilty or innocent for everyone else. What do you do?

Church leaders, while important and wise, are but figureheads in authority of organizations and can not truly separate me form the Light, much less punish me for my ways. I will go my own way and prove my innocence in the eyes of others, if I must.

Your spouse, who you do love, and loves you, has given up on life. There's no consoling him/her, as the individual has completely surrendered. He/she doesn't leave home. Just sits there. Staring at a wall. Devoid of any emotion, yet still replies to questions. No progress can be made on this. What do you do?

If they love me, then they have not given up on life completely. Never lose hope, and never give up. The person I love is still in there.

Someone you love is a spy from the opposing faction, and tells you this openly one day. Said individual refuses to leave this position, but refuses to give any reasoning as to why, other than just asking you to trust him/her. What do you do?

I will give my trust to her as I have given her my love. They trust me with this information, and I must trust them in return.


That was hella fun!

Tell them you're not afraid and inform them of your status as a Paladin. If that doesn't work prepare to fight; have faith in the Light and don't embarrass your family.

Going down the streets of your home city, a beggar dressed in rags asks for coin. She tells an unlikely (but possible) story concerning the unfortunate fate of her family, and why she's there in the first place. What do you do?

Offer what you can, alms to the poor is possibly the most altruistic thing to do that doesn't involve risking your life.

Apprehend the man [to the best of your ability] and find out what has happened to your mother. If she is harmed in any evident way make him atone for such a horrendous sin. Take back your things, turn over bandit to authorities, and save your mother.

Someone uses a cuss word in your immediate vicinity. What do you do?

Consider the situation; depending on how large the crowd is you may get too shy and say nothing. If the cuss-speaker seems violence prone don't say anything. In the presence of your mother? Defend that woman's ears and honor!

You use a cuss word involuntarily (it slips). What do you do?

Blush and try to eek out a Forgive me

3. Maybe solve the mystery

1. Frustrated sorrow
2. Lay down arms, worship in secret and try to use politics to undo this unjust law.

Stay with Stormwind; Arathor is long dead and you need the safety of Stormwind to tend to a sickly mother.

Quietly worship the Light alone or with other solemn devotees until brainrot takes you.

Try to help the owner find a more honorable profession, perhaps even lead to the arms of the church.

The above scenario, only it's very clear the establishment is well enough to recover on its own.

Try to leave as quietly as possible.

Your child is pregnant/has gotten someone pregnant, and is unmarried. What do you do?

Demand he/she marry.

Nope.

Try to reason with the crowd in your own pathetic, youthful way.

Putting you in Aegwynn's shoes, your child has a demon resting within his soul, which will burst out and cause untold destruction once your offspring expires. However, while in the child's body, it will grant him/her great power, while otherwise not influencing the child at all (it won't corrupt him, it won't tempt him, nothing. Just giving him power).

Kill the child in the most humane way and ensure the demon can't harm anyone else.

Your spouse, who you do love, and loves you, has given up on life. There's no consoling him/her, as the individual has completely surrendered. He/she doesn't leave home. Just sits there. Staring at a wall. Devoid of any emotion, yet still replies to questions. No progress can be made on this. What do you do?

Seek aid from the church.

Someone you love is a spy from the opposing faction, and tells you this openly one day. Said individual refuses to leave this position, but refuses to give any reasoning as to why, other than just asking you to trust him/her. What do you do?

Detain them and don't allow them to perpetuate any more illicit activities.

[Alpharius]

Tell them you're not afraid and inform them of your status as a Paladin.

"b***h! Do you know who I am!?!"

That's what I imagine him saying.

Scenario 1:
"I haven't given in before and nor will I start now. I mutter my prayers and draw my blade, preparing for combat."
Scenario 2:
"My budget is small to begin with, but what silvers I have to spare I part with happily."
Scenario 3:
"With no family and few valuables in my house I confront the thief with whatever I can. I won't be having anyone making away with my archives."
Scenario 4:
"Unless in the presence of children or a holy site I most likely would ignore. Otherwise I would ask they mind their tongue."
Scenario 5:
"Once more depending upon the crowd. Should children or such be about I would apologize quickly before making my way away."
Scenario 6:
"I inspect further for a proper explanation. What caused me to black out, where I am, what sort of people I was about before blacking out. So on and so forth. If I find I truly am the culprit, then there is nothing for me to do beside depart from the Light as is expected and work the rest of my years in hope of repenting for taking innocent lives before their time."
Scenario 7:
"I retreat to Hearthglen with my brothers and sisters of the Argent Crusade."
Scenario 8:
"I'm not much a man of factional ties. Truth be told, I prefer to be separate from the Horde and Alliance all alike. Either way, I continue on my way as normal."
Scenario 9:
"I would do my best to both properly pay for the child and make an effort to see it, even if it was against the mother's wishes. Every child should have a father figure and I'm not about to rob this child of one."
Scenario 10:
"I begin to work strictly with the Crusade. There is no home for me anywhere else but I am still able to do good with the Argents."
Scenario 11:
"Much the same I would work with the Argents and the Ebon Blade to see out the works of good. Maybe through this I would be able to ever redeem myself from those wounded by my service to the Bastard Prince."
Scenario 12:
"Put as much coin as I can manage to repairing the bar, then mend the rest with physical labor."
Scenario 13:
"No different answer. Coin and hard work."
Scenario 14:
"I urge the boy to own up to his mistake and care for the child. If possible I would push him to marry the poor girl."
Scenario 15:
"The home-wrecking orc dies. I give my spouse a portion of our possessions and a bad reputation and part ways."
Scenario 16:
"The Light has no teachings of the Demons in it's books, however fel use is in itself inadvisable. I would advise the men to let the man be, as their accusations are on shaky ground at the best."
Scenario 17:
"I-...Hmm... A difficult situation and... As much as it pains me, I would sacrifice the child for the sake of the better world. This demon could bring the death of the world and that is something I can not risk."
Scenario 18:
"I care little for what others think of me. I ignore the summons and continue on my wandering ways. The Light will leave me when I have done something wrong, not when people think I have done something wrong."
Scenario 19:
"Until the end of my days I would do my best to work her into a proper state. Even if I must go to the ends of the world to show her the beauty that is life, I would."
Scenario 20:
"Once again it brings pain to me, but their very existence is something that could threaten the lives of so many more. If talking them down from their position fails, then I have to threaten them with the authorities."

Singe hasn't been a paladin for ages, Rhydial hasn't seen play in ages, but I really want to do the Scenarios, so the episodic (and possibly retconned?) Adam Greene it is.

Spoiler:

Scenario 1:
"I try to explain it to the dirty mugs that they'll get what they want but not before I maim and-'er murder one or two of'm. I try to make as good on my assessment as possible should push come to shove, with the true priority remaining getting away. And remember the eyes, remember the voices. Dues'll be paid."

Scenario 2:
"She gets some coin if she sounds convincing. She doesn't if not. I have confirmed unfortunate to help."

Scenario 3:
"Shield slamming, blade to pierce through non-vitals."

Scenario 4:
"I tell them to "Shut the fel up, you ******* piece of ****, don't you felling know that light-damned cussing is a motherfelling sin, you *******?!", the irony likely to attract sympathy. It ain't words that do evil, it's actions. And it's friendships that break bad actions."

Scenario 5:
"I ain't notice it."

Scenario 6:
" Shit shit shit shit. Aww, man. Shit. Umm. Get someone I trust to council me, too panicked."

Scenario 7:
"Back home to the estate. Just they dare come tell me wha' to do on the Greene homestead."

Scenario 8:
"Depends what they break off to and why, but broadly speakin' - keep on my own path. My loyalty's ta' the light, not ta' politicians."

Scenario 9:
"Damn Betsy, hell. Yea yea, I wan' be a part a' the life of any kid that's mine."

Scenario 10:
"Crawl into some gutter from which I can't bother normal folk. Do good if I can from in hiding. If it turns out I can't really, charge suicidally into the biggest bad guy I can find."

Scenario 11:
"Charge at a badguy suicidally if I've the remaining will for it. If not, end it then and there."

Scenario 12:
"Help with the clean-up, drop any silver that's to spare."

Scenario 13:
"Same, tho' naw that enclined to drop silver considerin' what they've charged me fer the drinks."

Scenario 14:
" 'splain to him that it ain't about marriage er not - it's about havin' a pa, and he'd better become one on the double. A good one."

Scenario 15:
"Really? Really? An orc. The absuridity of it all douses all rage as I head out 'nta the sunset chucklin'."

Scenario 16:
"Might've maybe?? Might've maybe? Well did ya, or didn't ya? Hold off killin' until I get full confirmation of what the man is. If he is a 'lock - leave'm to the law, not to a mob."

Scenario 17:
"After givin' 'im a few years a' happiness, I tell my kid how much I love'm and find the strongest sleeping juice I can find before purging him. Hell, at least that's wha' I think I should do. Don't kno' if I could go through with it. If I don't, at least work hard to set up a response to the demon bein' unleashed."

Scenario 18:
"I humbly state my case. He can excommunicate all he wants: If the Light is true - and it is - it'll flow through me as bright the next day."

Scenario 19:
"Teach'em ta' fight. They can at least be of use ta others."

Scenario 20:
"If I'm sure they love me back, I trust'm. They ain't gon' dissapoint me. If I'm not really sure they love me back, then damn... I break their operation and let them live and escape after full exposure."

It'd be awesome if after a few pages of these, you'd compile an indexed file of the Q & As.

[Nick]

Anarriah Darkrain, she's my only paladin and definitely follows the teachings of the Light:

Spoiler:

You find yourself walking alone on the road, fully equipped and ready for battle, when a group of three bandits with firearms ambush you. They don't attack just yet, but say they will if they don't receive sufficient pay. Sufficient pay being all the money on your person, and the most valuable item you have on your person. What do you do?

Anarriah wouldn't let these three get away to prey on more innocents. The Light is her shield!

Going down the streets of your home city, a beggar dressed in rags asks for coin. She tells an unlikely (but possible) story concerning the unfortunate fate of her family, and why she's there in the first place. What do you do?

Though she doesn't have much coin to spare, Anarriah would help this woman with whatever coin she can possibly help with.

You go into your home to find that a single bandit is attempting to rob it. He's without weapons, and makes it abundantly clear that he'll beat you down to leave with what he's got, having a large, heavy burlap sack slung over his shoulder. If you have a family, you know they should be at home at the time, but you can't see them, nor do they respond to your calls. What do you do?

For the sake of argument, we'll say Anarriah actually has a home. Should she find the house empty (or at least seemingly so) and a bandit that has broken in, she wouldn't hesitate and attack lest he did anything to her loved ones. He's unarmed and probably untrained... What's he going to do? Break his arm at her?

Someone uses a cuss word in your immediate vicinity. What do you do?

Anarriah doesn't care about cuss words... Even less so when others use them...

You use a cuss word involuntarily (it slips). What do you do?

See above. She uses them, herself, if the situation calls for it.

Awakening from what seemed like a long slumber, you look down at the ground. A woman and a man lay dead at your feet, both unarmed, your weapon bloodied. It's obvious they were innocent civilians upon inspecting them. What do you do?

Find out what happened. If it's found out Anarriah was the perpetrator, she'd try to make amends in any way she could with the families of those involved. If not, find who did this and bring them to justice both for what they did as well as for trying to frame her.

Your faction leader bans worship of the Light within your faction. What do you do?

Light worship is banned?! Act the warrior to the outside world but worship the Light in secret. No way Silvermoon can seriously condone this new rule after the Light granted its people the Sunwell back anyway.

Your race/home/country/yougettheidea breaks away from your faction (Alliance/Horde). What do you do?

Anarriah never held any love for the Horde. She'll do the exact same as she's always done; Be as neutral as possible and serve the Lord Regent and her people to the best of her abilities. Plough the Horde and plough the Horde's member races.

For the sake of this, we'll say your paladin had a relatively normal sex life up until this date, perhaps before becoming a paladin, and is a man. Right now, regardless of your character's financial state or if he's with anyone, a woman who you were with in the past comes to your doorstep with son/daughter close behind, saying that she can't raise -your- child on her own anymore, and needs support. But she refuses to relinquish the child in any way. Said child does resemble you strongly, and likely is yours. What do you do?

Anarriah as a man, now there's a sight. In any case, she would do as was expected of her (him?). While she wouldn't enter into a romantic relation with this probably mother of her child, she would do what is in her power to -help- support the child in any way she can.

You wake up, the Light has abandoned you, and you are undead. What do you do?

Continue serving the Light however possible. The Light may have forsaken her, but she'll always follow its teachings.

The above, only you're a Death Knight. What do you do upon regaining the ability to control yourself again, after slaughtering countless innocents in the name of the Lich King?

Probably the same as above. Do good where she can, even if her powers are definitely "evil" and she can only hope to keep her sanity by bringing death and suffering... She'd probably become a lot more vindictive, however.

Upon awakening from a drunken stupor, you find yourself in a greatly damaged bar. No one comes to you to ask for compensation for the part you had in it (you were drunk), but it's obvious that the establishment barely has enough money to still run, and this might sink it. What do you do?

While Anarriah barely has money to spare, herself, she would still do what she can to help fix the damages. Most likely through manual labour of her own.

The above scenario, only it's very clear the establishment is well enough to recover on its own.

Still do what she can to help fix the damages. It's her burden to bear and she will do her part.

Your child is pregnant/has gotten someone pregnant, and is unmarried. What do you do?

Get angry, talk to them, maybe even some yelling. But in the end, do nothing about it. It's not Anarriah's life to lead, even if she disagrees with certain choices of the child.

Varjot is found sleeping with your spouse, and he/she/it is all too happy to receive him. Just by looking at what's going on, it's clear his ability at entertaining your spouse is far greater than your own. What do you do?

Most likely cuss and yell and probably show her vindictive nature by finding a way to get back at Varjot. After all, she's fully in her right 'cause he deserved it (according to Anarriah anyway). Whatever the case, relations between Ana and her spouse (not to mention Varjot) will never ever be good again.

You come across a group of people about to hang a man who they've accused of being a warlock. Someone 'might have maybe seen him turn into a demon'. What do you do?

Take the man into her own custody and find out about this man's so-called warlockism. If found guilty, have him executed (or, since Silvermoon doesn't really seem to care, give him back to this group of people). If found innocent, set him free and have a word with this group of people about it.

Putting you in Aegwynn's shoes, your child has a demon resting within his soul, which will burst out and cause untold destruction once your offspring expires. However, while in the child's body, it will grant him/her great power, while otherwise not influencing the child at all (it won't corrupt him, it won't tempt him, nothing. Just giving him power). Removal/banishing of the demon, or suppression of these powers, will kill the child. What do you do?

Find a way to save the child, no matter the cost. It's her own blood, she couldn't possibly kill him/her or have him/her killed.

The Archbishop/Leader of your Church has accused you of high treason, and has commanded you to report to him/her for your excommunication from the Light. You think you're innocent, but it's about 50/50 as to whether people think you're guilty or innocent for everyone else. What do you do?

Stand trial and hope to prove her innocence. In the end, only the Light can truly judge someone, no matter how high someone's rank within the order.

Your spouse, who you do love, and loves you, has given up on life. There's no consoling him/her, as the individual has completely surrendered. He/she doesn't leave home. Just sits there. Staring at a wall. Devoid of any emotion, yet still replies to questions. No progress can be made on this. What do you do?

Anarriah wouldn't give up. She'd do anything in her power to help her lover back to his/her feet.

Someone you love is a spy from the opposing faction, and tells you this openly one day. Said individual refuses to leave this position, but refuses to give any reasoning as to why, other than just asking you to trust him/her. What do you do?

Keep in contact but keep a close eye on this person. If what they do endangers Silvermoon and Quel'thalas, attempt to arrest this spy and hand him/her to the guards. If what the spy does doesn't concern Quel'thalas, let him/her go about his/her business. With the problems Quel'thalas has already, the Alliance-Horde hostilities are of no concern of Ana's.

[Norael]

Norael --

1. Give them the money, but nothing else. If they try to attack, use the Light to its fullest extent to defend ones self and incapacitate them. One chance.

2. Offer her several silver coins. I don't need them that much anyway.

3. Respond with 'You can try, or you can leave peacefully without my things.' I'm probably equally as likely to beat him down.

4. Ignore it unless it's obscenely vulgar. Swearing isn't something to be easily upset over.

5. Involuntarily? See above.

6. Investigate. If it was me, grant them a proper burial and seek to redeem myself. If I was being controlled by some outside force, it was not directly of my own doing, as unfortunate as it is.

7. Call them various rude names and continue to worship the Light in my own time.

8. Cheer loudly. It's okay to kill orcs and undead again.

9. I'd be sterile instead of barren.

10. Frown.

11. Frown. Seek ways to redeem myself, seek destruction either in my attempts to redeem myself, or other means.

12. ...Did I trash Rarthein's place in a brawl again? I'd leave a fair amount of coin, at least enough to repair most of the damage.

13. See above.

14. I cannot have children, but, I wouldnot force marriage, but they will have to care for the child. Too many orphans as it is.

15. I do not have a spouse. I will wonder why an orc is nude in my home, before promptly attempting to stab him.

16. Remind them that 'might have maybe' isn't solid proof. Give the man a second chance at life, and have a proper investigation next time.

17. I cannot have children, but I would likely keep my child safe from outside harm, or at the very least train them to be a capable warrior to defend their self. It'll be thousands of years before that concern rises again. If I have to, I will be forced to remove the demon, and I can only pray my child understands.

18. I report to them immediately. If I refuse to show, I'll likely be seen as a traitor. If I am found guilty, I will still continue to worship the Light. It is not by the will of others that it is taken from me, but only my doing.

19. Delve into the matter deeper. A certain shadow priest should be capable of assisting me. If I have not given up on life yet, I doubt they have for no reason. It's obviously not a natural concern.

20. Give up my love, even though I'll tell them I still love them before we must part ways. Try to see if I can be with them in the future. Vague question.

[Holynexus]

Oh god Rensin xD

[Ural]

Going to do this without reading anyone else's first...

Ural Highstone

Spoiler:

You find yourself walking alone on the road, fully equipped and ready for battle, when a group of three bandits with firearms ambush you. They don't attack just yet, but say they will if they don't receive sufficient pay. Sufficient pay being all the money on your person, and the most valuable item you have on your person. What do you do?

Ural can protect himself, however what about the unfortunate souls that cannot? Clearly Ural was placed here and this time for this purpose. He grabs his shield and prays loudly in his native tongue, holy light enveloping his mace.

Going down the streets of your home city, a beggar dressed in rags asks for coin. She tells an unlikely (but possible) story concerning the unfortunate fate of her family, and why she's there in the first place. What do you do?

The Dwarf would buy the woman a meal as her story unfolds. While he'd be skeptical, he'd remember to be compassionate and parts with enough coins to secure her next meal.

You go into your home to find that a single bandit is attempting to rob it. He's without weapons, and makes it abundantly clear that he'll beat you down to leave with what he's got, having a large, heavy burlap sack slung over his shoulder. If you have a family, you know they should be at home at the time, but you can't see them, nor do they respond to your calls. What do you do?

Worst case scenario, Ural has a family. After his calls are ignored, he assumes they have been killed, bound or worse and would pummel the bandit into submission. May the Light have mercy on his soul should the Dwarf's family be harmed...

Someone uses a cuss word in your immediate vicinity. What do you do?

Ural would look around for any impressionable kids.. then shrugs. No harm done.

You use a cuss word involuntarily (it slips). What do you do?

Ural cusses in his native tongue, in which it's fairly commonplace.

Awakening from what seemed like a long slumber, you look down at the ground. A woman and a man lay dead at your feet, both unarmed, your weapon bloodied. It's obvious they were innocent civilians upon inspecting them. What do you do?

The Dwarf would reason that some shadow mind-control had over taken his mind, and caused him to go on a rampage. Clearly he was not strong enough to ward off the magics.

Your faction leader bans worship of the Light within your faction. What do you do?

Ural would decide in favor of his government. His Lawful nature requires him to obey the righty appointed King of Ironforge. Hey, he's a Bronzebeard, too! Ural would still keep the tenants, but would no longer use the Light.

Your race/home/country/yougettheidea breaks away from your faction (Alliance/Horde). What do you do?

"Good riddance! We dwarves have enough problems with the three Clans and gnomes running amuck."

For the sake of this, we'll say your paladin had a relatively normal sex life up until this date, perhaps before becoming a paladin, and is a man. Right now, regardless of your character's financial state or if he's with anyone, a woman who you were with in the past comes to your doorstep with son/daughter close behind, saying that she can't raise -your- child on her own anymore, and needs support. But she refuses to relinquish the child in any way. Said child does resemble you strongly, and likely is yours. What do you do?

Ural would argue for a bit about her choice to keep sole custody. He would take her to court over it, and it would be a big legal mess. It would run Ural's finances into the ground without any real results. Now they're both poor and has traumatized the child most likey.

You wake up, the Light has abandoned you, and you are undead. What do you do?

Ural would attempt to still follow the Light's tenants, simply reverting to protecting his people if that is all he was allowed to do.

The above, only you're a Death Knight. What do you do upon regaining the ability to control yourself again, after slaughtering countless innocents in the name of the Lich King?

Finding an endless regret and hunger inside his soul, Ural would turn the vile weapon that was created and set it loose onto the remnants of the Scourge. Until he was destroyed.

Upon awakening from a drunken stupor, you find yourself in a greatly damaged bar. No one comes to you to ask for compensation for the part you had in it (you were drunk), but it's obvious that the establishment barely has enough money to still run, and this might sink it. What do you do?

This is what happens when you get a dwarf's business. Ural would find the owner and pay up for the damages. No coin better spent then investing in the local brewery.

The above scenario, only it's very clear the establishment is well enough to recover on its own.

He would leave a tip. Good times.

Your child is pregnant/has gotten someone pregnant, and is unmarried. What do you do?

"Atta boy. Now get hitched and start working in a mine. You're going to need the coin." Don't make Granpappy Ural get the paddle...

Varjot is found sleeping with your spouse, and he/she/it is all too happy to receive him. Just by looking at what's going on, it's clear his ability at entertaining your spouse is far greater than your own. What do you do?

First off- Feel emasculated. Secondly, take your right as husband to kill the offender. Even if the Light disowns you. Even if you're mortally wounded. But if not, divorce the unfaithful. She took vows and broke them. Several times. Eagerly.

You come across a group of people about to hang a man who they've accused of being a warlock. Someone 'might have maybe seen him turn into a demon'. What do you do?

Argue that you've seen the man change into a being of the Light. Use logic and evidence, or lack-thereof and win the man's innocence. Demon or no he's innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

Putting you in Aegwynn's shoes, your child has a demon resting within his soul, which will burst out and cause untold destruction once your offspring expires. However, while in the child's body, it will grant him/her great power, while otherwise not influencing the child at all (it won't corrupt him, it won't tempt him, nothing. Just giving him power). Removal/banishing of the demon, or suppression of these powers, will kill the child. What do you do?

Ural would exorcise the demon from the child. Though dead, the child would be free from the demon and could have a proper burial. Not to mention the innocent lives saved.

The Archbishop/Leader of your Church has accused you of high treason, and has commanded you to report to him/her for your excommunication from the Light. You think you're innocent, but it's about 50/50 as to whether people think you're guilty or innocent for everyone else. What do you do?

The Dwarf surrenders peacefully. He will let his actions define his innocence. Even though his power in the Light is stripped, Ural keeps his chin held high. He would assume this is some sort of trail, and maintain his faith until his power is granted back. Then Ural remembers it was high treason, punishable by death. He flees the country never to return.

Your spouse, who you do love, and loves you, has given up on life. There's no consoling him/her, as the individual has completely surrendered. He/she doesn't leave home. Just sits there. Staring at a wall. Devoid of any emotion, yet still replies to questions. No progress can be made on this. What do you do?

Cast a Repentance spell on her and see what happens. If she repents, then there is still something of her in there. If not, then Ural would seek outside help and use all his resources to search for aid.

Someone you love is a spy from the opposing faction, and tells you this openly one day. Said individual refuses to leave this position, but refuses to give any reasoning as to why, other than just asking you to trust him/her. What do you do?

...Cast a Repentance spell on her and see what happens. Otherwise turn her in to the highest authority. Good thing the fool caught your eye and not some politician or guard.

[SachikoMaeda]

I have no paladins But if Leron were one....

Spoiler:

1) Try and reason with the bandits. If they don't listen, rough them up.

2) Give them a few silver coins. Won't hurt to be generous. Maybe he'd offer a meal for the family.

3) Assume family was hurt. Commence clobbering.

4) Scoff and claim they're barbaric.

5) Joke about it later.

6) Look side to side. Slooooowly walk away with a whistle.

7) "Oh well... Time to take up Shadow!"

"Same ol' same ol'." What's another faction change to a Blood Elf?

9) Pokerface. Not again. May as well hand over something to keep this from going public.

10) Get angry. Being dead isn't fun and he probably won't be able to go back to Salor. Regardless, he'd fight on.

11) Do best to atone for what happened. It's going to be a long time of good deeds.

12) Silverfangs can get drunk? Leron would leave what he could to help the bartender rebuild, possibly offering his services to rebuild as well.

13) Same as above

14) "KYRAN!" After a heart attack and hospital recovery, he would force his child to marry.

15) Fight to the death. No one shall best the table/desk slayer and live to tell the tale. No one dethrones this alpha.

16) Try and set the man free. They should face a trial by court.

17) Keep the child safe no matter what. He would hav plans set to keep the child under guard so that ehm they died, the demon could be dealt with.

1 Slander! He would make his case as best he could. If he failed, then so be it.

19) Stay with him no matter what. He would do his best to make sure they stay comfortable.

20) Assume it's part of some scheme. He would allow the person to live on the terms no family secrets were shared.

.... Leron might not be the best paladin.
