Rensin is Paladin material, right? WELL LET'S SEE.

SMASH THEM WITH MY FISTS.

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

Go out for a good spot of tea, and clean my nails.

I suppose I'll do this for Galah, who's being retconned into a paladin coming Cata:

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?

Attack the three, and attempt to subdue and capture them.

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 her some coin to run a few errands while in town, giving me time to ask around and see if anyone could give her work to support herself.

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?

Offer the bandit a chance to surrender and walk away free. If there were family members missing, capture the bandit.

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

I see nothing wrong with cuss words.

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

It wouldn't be involuntarily.

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?

Try to find out what happened, and why I do not remember the killing. If I was at fault, atone for my crimes. If something was controlling me, seek it out so it cannot harm another innocent.

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

Leave the faction and continue working on my own.

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

Continue to help out both my home and the Alliance equally. If that isn't possible, then home comes first, as it's the one who requires more assistance at the moment.

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?

Offer to take the child as a squire, and raise them myself.

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

Learn to deal with problems without the Light, and continue doing my work.

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?

Same as above, embrace the situation and use it to the best of my abilities to do the Light's work.

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 what coin I can spare to help.

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

Offer less coin, more as a token of apology than anything else.

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

Make sure that both parents are willing to raise the child together. If the father is unknown, then help my daughter raise the child, or find someone who can do so themselves.

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?

Ask them politely leave after finishing, it's rather obvious my spouse no longer wishes to be with me. No point in getting angry.

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?

Attempt to discern if it is truly a warlock or not, and act accordingly.

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?

This is a tricky one: Does the demon grow in power the longer the child is alive? If yes, then for the safety of the world, the child would have to die. Otherwise, keep the child nearby and teach them to use these powers to fight evil alongside me. Make sure they know that their death means the release of said demon, and that sticking around those who can defeat it quickly is the best option.

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?

Accept the excommunication, then return to doing my work around Azeroth. The judgement of one organization should not stop me from doing what is right.

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?

Attempt to make progress, or discover the cause of their actions. If there is anything that proves to help, then do so. Otherwise, leave them to their choice. There are some battles one can't win.

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?

Try to change their mind, otherwise, turn them over to the Alliance, because it's the right thing to do. Their information could cause the deaths of many.

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.

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.

You forgot a step for these questions (Because it's HIGHLY likely that your faction will rebel from the Alliance because the Alliance tries to join the Burning Legion, given Draenei history): Grab everyone who you know and trust and pile them in a spaceship with you, then on another planet. To do anything less is Un-Draeneilike

That gave me a hearty chuckle.

I'm bored. I'm doing this for Orvisha. 8D

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 don't carry more than a couple silver, most often. I'd strike them down, though I wouldn't kill them.

...Who are you, and why are you asking me these questions? I'm not a paladin.

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?

What--it's probably Reka. I'd tell her to get a better set of rags.

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.

Strike him down. This seems to imply it's possible family members are in the large burlap sack?

...How did he get my father in there, exactly?

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

...My sensitive orcish sensibilties are--is this person drinking? Jovial? I might join in.

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

...Depends. I'm not really a user of such words. I might shrink from the look from my family.

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?

First; where am I? I'd figure that out. Assuming these are orc or Horde civilians, I'd quickly report myself with all the information I had upon waking.

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

...I don't see Thrall doing that. It wouldn't effect orcs much. The Forsaken might appreciate it, even with their Forgotten Shadow's emphasis on balance. I'd be very wary and wonder what's gotten into Thrall's head. And perhaps depart from Orgrimmar before he bans something else.

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

Are we moving back to Outland? This would--cause so much chaos, orcs pretty much leading the Horde. Warchief--and all that. I'm not sure how to answer, because I'm not sure what we would do.

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'm a woman. And this other woman sounds like she's after something.

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

I'm a shaman--nearly--, not a--who are you? Pah. I'd--...likely try to still aid the Horde as honorably as I could. Like Balgarn.

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 don't feel like repeating what I just stated.

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'm not sure I'm strong enough to damage a building like you state. I don't have the coin to hand over, but--I suppose I'd offer labor.

And question whether I really did this.

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

I'd still offer physical labor as recompense.

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

Orcs don't--quite do marriage as humans or elves might. If they're lifemates, they're lifemates.

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?

Orvisha blankly stares for a few moments, silent. A sudden shudder of disgust shoots through her.

"No, just--why? Why would you ask that?"

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?

The use of this magic is technically legal in Orgrimmar. What was the context of this change? I'd report this farce of justice to some authority.

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.

Removal/banishing of the demon, or suppression of these powers, will kill the child. What do you do?

I...do not know. Orcs are no strangers to infanticide--"he should have been given to the waters", and all.

I would try to discover the nature of this demon. Why this happened. I would not lie to my child, as he or she grew. I would hope, if they die, they would die fighting this thing. Somehow.

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?

...Shaman. Not paladin. Go away.

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?

I would stay with Corlmitz as I promised. Though, he's more the type to go on suicidal bursts of violence in battle than stare at a wall.

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?

It would...be my duty to report this person. I would be saddened, but they lied to me. How can I trust them?
