So, I am taking the opportunity to scribe a contract for my Cleric to join the party. They are good, while I am evil. I am hoping to make the wording legal and somewhat confusing, but I dont want to build in downfalls for my fellow party member. It will be written on Pact Parchment, though I doubt that will be all that important in the long run.
My goals are as follows.
1) Protect Matilda
2) Protect Tombstone (The character, my cleric), Unless this should override notice 1.
3) Protect Tombstones "Flock" Unless this should override notice 1 or 2
The story bittys:Matilda is my sister. Well, was. She is dead now. Big bad killed her a year ok, I haven't gotten over it. Seeking to bring my dear sister back, I consorted with the gods of death. I am not a cleric on the death: undeath subtype domain. Undead lord archetype. Its PF, but it boils down to I have a skeleton following me, its matilda's skeleton. So that
The contract, First draft. Left here for completeness sake. I, the undersigned, Do swear by my blood to fulfill the obligations agreed upon herein. I shall protect, without regard for my own personal injury, the writer of these words, henceforth referred to as the Cleric, Tombstone. This protection shall extend so far as ruin the chance at personal gain, to degrade ones moral standing, and to provide the Cleric, Tombstone with a safe and hospitable place to stay, should the Cleric, Tombstone desire it. This article shall always be carried out foremost, save it should interfere with my ability to protect Matilda, my dearest.
So long as the Cleric, Tombstone lives, I hereby swear to protect the flock thereof. This flock is any who should follow the Cleric, Tombstone without protest. I shall protect the flock as dearly as I protect the Cleric, Tombstone, save that this protection interferes with my ability to protect the Cleric, Tombstone.
But, I shall also henceforth agree to bring protection upon Matilda, as she is the dearest thing in my heart. She shall be protected from all evils, from all indignities. I shall slay towns to save her very name. I shall ruin lives and murder those who slander her. Her name shall be divinity, and never spoken out of place. Her body a temple, never touched, save the most dire of need. This shall be carried out, and take precedent, above and beyond my need to protect the Cleric, Tombstone.
I, the undersigned, have read and shall swear by the above conditions.
