The murder of his guard presumably correlates to the spike in his observed evilness, taking place in the 12th month of 1183. This is useful to anchor the Timeline of events in the comic. The Belkar Evilness chart places the current time as approximately the fourth month of the year 1184, and also puts Roy meeting Belkar at approximately a year prior in the fourth month of 1183.As Roy notes, Paladin PC's may not be in a party with other PCs who's alignment is Evil.Belkar's projected evil vs actual evil post-Roy is plotted.īureaucratic Deva (inset): Luckily for you, our latest projections on what Belkar might have done without your influence back you up.īureaucratic Deva: A hypothetical offspring of Cruella de Ville and Sauron.īureaucratic Deva: It's useful to have a baseline comparison for these things. Roy: Unless you're telling me I should've just cut his throat while he sleeps?īureaucratic Deva: I'm not sure how comfortable I am with you taking it upon yourself to contain him, but I'll put it down in the file as an attempt to redeem an evildoer.īureaucratic Deva: That should remove the taint of his actions from your record.Ī x-y chart with time on the x-axis (the years 1182-1184) and Evil on the y-axis (in units of kilonazis). Roy: And until then, his combat potential is being used to fight an even greater Evil than himself. It's a lot safer than betting people's lives on the idea that Belkar can be contained by iron bars. Roy: So instead, the jail travels with him, with me as Head Warden. Roy: I let him out of jail because he's too strong and clever-in his own brain-damaged way-to be held prisoner by any jail cell I've ever seen.
Roy: Just what this comic strip needs more of! Roy: If I hadn't "freed" him, he would have escaped during the battle anyway and probably become yet another recurring villain. I'm sure the current pile of rubble really would have held him for, like, 18 seconds. Roy: Isn't it a little riskier to leave him unattended?īureaucratic Deva: You could have left him in the Azure City prison under proper legal authority. But look at it this way: By allowing Belkar to stay with us, I can channel him toward useful purposes.īureaucratic Deva: Isn't that a little risky? Roy: OK, look, Belkar is a vicious little bastard. That means on some level, you are responsible for his actions-īureaucratic Deva: - especially those actions he takes while pursuing your personal missions. So normally, you'd be fine-what he does would be on his soul, not yours.īureaucratic Deva: But what complicates the issue for you is that you've taken on the role of his commanding officer. I'm just a fighter.īureaucratic Deva: That's true. Roy: I thought only paladins were prohibited from associating with Evil characters. Roy: Before we go any further, can I just say that I find women with wings particularly attractive?īureaucratic Deva: Thank you, but that hardly addresses the issue at hand.īureaucratic Deva: You've been adventuring for year with a Chaotic Evil halfling who is constantly trying to murder anyone who gets in his way!īureaucratic Deva: Or looks like they might possibly be thinking about getting anywhere sort of near his way at some unspecified future point, just to be sure.
