SimonCoffin, my character, is a worsphipper of Bast. So I'm toodling around Ulthar, and I acquire a small menagerie of followers (And spontaneously acquired 'Recruit' in the process). These followers consisted of two cats and an Ulthar city guardsman. They followed me diligently, and I was heading out to do some levelling my killling merchants and traders (whom I assume, since they do not require 'murder' to slay, are neutral and probably spies from Dylath-Leen and Leng, so I feel no pity about killing them.
)So I kill a traveler, no problem. Move on to the next place, see a trader, and attack him. At this the Guard balks, claiming he is an innocent, and then attacks me. Simultaneously, one of the cats turns on me too. Before I even realized what was happening, both the guard and the cat were dead...
dead cat...
BIG problem for a Bast worshipper, and utterly accidental.
Needless to say I returned to the Temple for a less than happy greeting from the Priestess. I had lost my 'honourably warrior of Bubastis deed' as well.
So, I sacrificed a LOT. I prayed for forgiveness, and was told to never harm a cat again. But I was back in the good (?) graces of my goddess. I returned where I needed to and performed the task necessary to regain the 'Honourable warrior of Bubastis' Deed.
But still... accidental killings are bad. I jut hope Bast doesn't hold it against me in the future, and I'm going to try and keep a tighter reign on my reflexes.
