Quote from: Arc;391801While, in reality, no Cyricist would ever make it into the Watchers...

Too easily, people forget that
Cyric is the god of
lies and
intrigue. Madness is not His domain, it's a light affliction that He may well have recovered from since the apocalypse happened. The blatant, unsubtle servants of murder are a disgrace to His holy name.
A double bluff served Careswell exceptionally well. Always, people were too concerned with the heavy insinuation that he was a Banite to notice the incredibly chaotic, deceitful behavior that bled through his disguise on a daily basis. He stole over twenty thousand coins from criminals and citizens alike. He earned ten thousand in legitimate Watcher wage. He smuggled artifacts of the Prince of Madness out of the Watch House by
asking nicely. Several "murder investigations" were his personal campaign of misdirection after he'd nearly been caught red-handed. He made a personal point of performing all the Watch's executions and dedicating them to
Cyric.
Tragically, just as he was closing in on a Sergeant's promotion and authority, whereupon the
real fun could begin, I made an OOC mistake that could not be forgiven. I effectively griefed another player. This is unacceptable. It's over.
[hide="Background"]Sylph Skolnick grew up under the heel of the Zhentarim's priestly accompaniment. He resented their authoritarian parenting. There were whippings, beatings, and occasional brush with death merely for the way he thought. He was shaped into cruelty, and to the repression of stone-faced lies whenever questioned.
When civil war snapped the Zhentarim in two, between Cyric and Bane, you know whose greatsword was plunging through backs.
Somewhere on the frozen surface, he encountered Calador Arivathiel and Ciaran Careswell as they dueled over some point of honor. He killed them both. He ate them both. He stole their less feminine names.[/hide]
My best screenshots would implicate my co-conspirators, but I can post my thorough corruption of the Watchers. The moment Tacitus Martialis died, Careswell became the strongest force of personality in the faction. He led by example and encouragement a repeal of that sickeningly goodly, molly-coddling attitude that his predecessors had weighed the Watch down with.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, Calador Careswell was also Auxiliary Employee 9413.
You pulled this off very well.
Well played, never suspected a thing.
I always thought Careswell was a dumb name.

I'd considered the cyricist bit for barely a moment and immediately dismissed the notion. You were much more deceptive than you give yourself credit for. I liked calador very much. I'm sorry to see him go.
- Gemli Ariegehr (http://i.imgur.com/hIHegY2.png?1) was murdered (http://i.imgur.com/DUnni8N.png?1) right under the nose of Nina Milles, who let Careswell strip the poor dwarf of his Ring and follow him out into the illusion. She stayed behind to chat up a citizen.
- In this case, a moment sooner and Nina Milles would've caught Careswell mugging that worminger. I wonder what deductive genius (http://i.imgur.com/AsBo4nQ.jpg) allowed him to hunt the killer so effectively (http://i.imgur.com/yzdxvdA.png)...
- This (http://i.imgur.com/zlQil9c.png?1) is why (http://i.imgur.com/6b40vNL.jpg?1) paladins are not allowed to associate with evil people. Evil is a contagious disease, citizen.
Bravo. Simply put: Few will compare to Calador Careswell!
Bad-ass PC. Your Banite-Cyricist double-bluff was nothing short of amazing. I should have considered the possibility, but I never did.
You played such a balls-out blatant bully that everyone was just too focused on it to believe you were deceptive.
Bravo. I will miss having Calador around greatly.
I Remember intentionally pissing off Tacitus and the other "goody-two-shoes" Of the Watchers by putting you through, rushing your tests and otherwise to get you in. Cain was LN, but she often did things because she thought they were necessary, including making the Watchers Harsher by putting a "banite" in. Good job and well done for following through with my expectations, and even better job and pulling the double bluff off :D
omg... teaching people how to cyric about!
I wish I had plans!
Amazing! Calador had Kim completely fooled. <3
Well done man. Paul always expected something wasn't quite right, but you managed to pull the wool over his eyes pretty well in the end.
I AM TOO AFRAID TO LOVE AGAIN.
Szul hated him from the moment he met him and never stopped hating him no matter how much he did to try and win him over.
RIP brave cyricmans
Nice fighting you!
Honorary Son of Cyric
I still think Nina and Careswell would have been the perfect couple ;)
She tried to get rid of you but couldn't, had she been a Paladin she would have kept much further away.
Great stuff dude!
There goes my plan to have him eaten alive by a thRong of rats!
A thong of rats? How sexy.
Sorry, I'll stop trolling.
Just made me laugh. :)
Despite his faith he was actually a very good Watcher!
OMG he was EVIL???
He gave Jasmine SOOOO many presents and was super nice to her. I say there's a triple bluff there somewhere and he was actually a good guy. yes.
Love and kisses, Mr. Careswell
There was definitely something RATTY about him during our little encounter.. Oh well, hoped it will escalate! Nice.

Careswell gave out a lot of presents, actually.
He had plenty of spare oddities from the people he murdered.
RIP Sylph Skolnick
Calador certainly livened up the Watchers and provided an interesting source of contention for my own PC during the brief time we were in the faction together. He was a very up front character and his persistent brashness certainly made his double-bluff effective. Look forward to seeing your next PC.
