04/22/08(Tue)00:38 No. 1579161 I seem to often be the catalyst for unfortunate events that could have otherwise been avoided. At the time, I was playing a barbarian/drunken master character. I had decided to make a breif stop over at the thieves guild, alone, to try to boss around the guild leader who was trying to intimidate followers of Pelor at the local church (the cleric in the party was my best friend, but, was taking too long, in my eyes, to do something about the situation). This was a bad idea in and of itself, but, little did I know the head of the theives guild was also a vampire. Being of weak will, I fell very quickly under a domination, and was ordered to send for my allies, one at a time. I sent for the fighter, first. He arrives alone, wondering what business I have for him. He's met by the vampire, with me by the vampire's side. He catches on very quickly, and miraculously, resists the vampire's domination effect. In a heroic act, he grabs me, and uses his Ring of Wishes, with one charge left, to make a very simple wish - "I wish we were back at the temple of Pelor!" In an instant, he and I are standing within the temple walls, with a number of very shocked clergy. However, still under the vampire's thrall, I was being beckoned back to the guild, and was powerless to resist the call. I pummeled the fighter, and fled the church as quickly as possible. The rest of the party, who was staying at same said temple followed suit. Bounding through the city, they had trouble keeping up with me, with the execption of a very quick rogue who was determined to bring me down. With my options running thin, I did a quick inventory of my items, and discovered I had a single Feather Token left - a tree. I activated it directly below myself, and was launched into the air, landing uncomfortably on a rooftop. After catching my breath, the flight continued amongst the shingles of the buildings.
