I see what you're saying on the bow thing - it's not something that he
should base his opinion on. I guess it's more for my benefit, that it seems
like she thinks it's in the group's best interest to off him if given a
plausible reason.
To be honest, the "geek" thing sort of rankled me automatically - I have a
deep-seated dislike of people who would single anyone out to treat like a
"geek", and it's hard to see that as a good quality for a character. But I
didn't take it as a sign of your own point of view.
Just as explanation, his handling of Tori with the orc incident came from
his own point of view that he was in a situation where all of the sailors
were dead, one orc was alive, and he had no idea of where thy were or why
they were fighting - he was fine with killing the orc, but couldn't
understand why another minute to do so mattered.
I think his own low opinion of Tori was solidified when she wasted a healing
potion just to make a point - it seemed like a really dumb thing to do to
him.
Personally, I like your character, and I think you're doing a fine job
running her - but I do agree with Damon that we both need to be careful
playing this out. Just like Cullen and Kage fighting could lead John and I
down the path of role confusion, I'd hate to see the same thing happen
between you and me -

> If you would have "attacked" (as she would have percieved it) Cullen yes
she would have attacked you, but you have to see it through her eyes she has
known Cullen from the beginning of the adventure, she sees you as an
outsider and the whole Orc display at the beach just rubbed her the wrong
way. She would not just attack him randomly but she would defend her
friends. (He would not have seen her aim her bow at him anyways so he would
not judge her either way for that. She was behind him and up in the air, so
no one would have really noticed her except if they were flying.) She really
could care less about you and wants to be left alone. (does that make any
sense???)

running through the underdark which she does not like, (use to be) lead my a
human dominate male that has rubbed her the wrong way on several occasions
(intentionally in her mind.). She would rather just ignore Kage like she did
on the boat when he gave her that order. She is actually quiet the women
when people get to know her and she is not fighting in hostile territory.
Remember back when Purina was with us. We had stopped at a bar, she got all
cleaned and dressed up and went dancing and drinking. (But stayed with the
guys she knew not strangers, when the night rolled on she hung out in the
corner watching people) So I really just see her as socially challenged when
it comes to strangers and especially bossy strangers. If Kage would have
taken his first angle of saying hello this would have probably turn out all
different.

her laugh. She often keeps and eye on him (likes he need it) in combat so
his new experiences does not get him next deep in trouble. Tori does not
totally trust him in combat and feels he is a bit wild to put in a strategic
place unless there is a catch for his attention to stay there. She feels
free to talk with Whilce, even trust him to a point in battle. While sitting
in a camp fire she would openly hold discussions with him.

the spur of his pants. She has her doubts at his young age and experience in
combat but has noticed he has matured a lot since their last combat
together. Again at the campfire she would talk openly with him and often
exchanges advice with him when the opportunity presents itself.

he can hold the key to victory in many battle yet fought with his skill in

ranger like conversations. She trusts him in a fight not to just dump the
group and take cover. Even if he is not seen for a round or two she knows
the missile fire will soon begin. Tori would have no problem following Neris
as a leader.

closed ended answers

religious conversations. In a fight she has complete trust for altoroâ?Ts
fighting prowess and decision making. She would have no problems following
him as a leader.

hostile talks), but if talked to her she would answer in sarcastic crisp
tones just in the hopes of having him not talk to her again. She does not
trust him combat or to follow any of his orders. Around the campfire she
would not talk to him or hang out at the fire if the conversation pertained
him and it would appear to have a chance to make them communicate. She does
not openly start hostile conversation either but if he talks to her itâ?Ts
bound to turn that way with his jabs at her.

> She does not trust her and does not communicate to her at all even when
talked to. Kage at least has a degree of trust from the entire party so he
can not be 100% bad (99.9%). But Liz where did she come from, the last act
last night walked a fine line. Tori wants to keep an eye on her. It Liz a
talks with her she just walks away or leaves the area. If she has to talk
with her she refers to her as girl. There is no trust what so ever in regard
to combat situations or watch.

geek comment was just a reference she does not think him a geek. I used the
wrong analogy sorry the confusion. The point I was trying to get across is
how you try to avoid people and not talk to them or openly avoid bumping
into them.
