Bardess Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think more of you will choose the first option, though... Also, BigRob, is romance still possible if Aklon is enslaved? Link to comment
Vestrael Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 i really couldn't decide, so i thought about what each of my various npcs would do. i figured three out of five would enslave him, so... i think, if it was actually me, i'd set him free though. Link to comment
Domi Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Set him free. There is something about it that makes the romance more fun. Link to comment
berelinde Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Gavin (human cleric), Eleniel (elven cleric), Miriel (elven fighter/mage), Morwen (human or elven paladin), Maddee (human ranger), Saeldur (elven ranger), Calanon (elven sorcerer), and Alana (elven ranger) would free him as soon as they possibly could. Turin (human fighter) would buy him first, because that's the way his brain works, but he'd free him immediately afterward. Link to comment
Proserpina Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Oh, my PCs would definitely set him free every time. In all scenarios, the fact that Aklon just so happens to be a tall, blond and handsome human male will certainly enter into the equation. My LE mage would reason that while it could certainly be entertaining to have keep the monk collared and at her beck and call, it's not entirely wise to entrust the lives of herself and her party members to someone that would undoubtedly wish to do away with his oppressor. An added bonus would be the possibility that he would prove more receptive to any overtures she makes; the proverbial honey is said to catch more flies than vinegar, after all. In the event of a persistant Aerie and a smug Viconia ("I warned you about letting males run about unfettered, abbil"), she'll probably curse her earlier decision, though! As for my CN rogue, well, she and slavery just wouldn't work out. She'd purchase him one moment, and then next she'd have thrown the collar off and be buying him a round at the local tavern and recounting saucy stories since he was acting waaay too uptight for her liking.

Eleima Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I think more of you will choose the first option, though... I would definitely have to say that all my PCs would free him. Not only is it in character, but when you step back, and take a look at the big picture, keeping someone collared is not a good basis for a healthy relationship... Btw, I think I recall BigRob writing somewhere that the romance will still be possible, even if you keep him collared, but will offer some interesting complications. I'll edit this post if I manage to find exactly where... (unless it's a product of my imagination! ) Link to comment
berelinde Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I wouldn't think it would be much fun to love a slave, or for a slave to love his master. The best romances are the meeting of equals. Link to comment
Bardess Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Me, I'd probably set him free. I can't imagine myself dragging a slave around, of course. But perhaps some of my PCs would. Besides, it's interesting Link to comment
Vestrael Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 My LE mage would reason that while it could certainly be entertaining to have keep the monk collared and at her beck and call yeah, that's what i was thinking thaxsillia (my half drow, half cambion CE cleric) would think. The other one who'd enslave him, jehalia (half drow NE sorceress), would probably do it because she'd reason that he'd do the same to her, and alyria (elf CN assassin) would do it simply to teach him a lesson for getting caught in the first place. The other two, vestrael (yes, that's my username) and kharalea would all free him, for various reasons. Link to comment
Everlong Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Set him free of course! For once the male can be the damsel in distress who needs rescuing! Not to debase any ego's of course Link to comment
BigRob Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Interesting to see the poll and some of the character based responses. It will be possible to romance Aklon if you enslave him, but it will be different from what you get if you set him free (his mood is understandably different with that collar around his neck). Bear in mind though that you won't have to set him free immediately, if you can talk fast enough. Link to comment
Silver Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My PC's answers: Laniel: "Enslave him! More fun that wayyy!!!" Natasha, Igrevein, Lisa: "free him of course!" I'm afraid tastes differ... but since I am the one who plays... I would enslave him *titter*! Link to comment
Eleima Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'm afraid tastes differ...but since I am the one who plays... Too true!! I'm at least 95 % certain that I'll try out all possible outcomes. Link to comment
Ladile Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The large majority of my PCs would free him, though I'll probably give the enslavement option a go at some point too I'm looking forward to running around with Aklon Link to comment
