What do you do?

Well the problem is, they're both PCs and the player of the barbarian doesn't kill PCs. Also, the last PC, a sorcerer, is the surrogate brother of the cleric and my character's former comrade in the army. My character also doesn't have any problem with the cleric as he hasn't actually done anything bad yet. The Half-Orc on the other hand killed a couple of people in a tavern because they were interfering with him trying to take one of the barmaids as his "wife" and this was before we joined up with him and he succeeded in taking the one he has now. Who's about to get poisoned by the cleric with an obsession with watching things die.

Um, to make things a bit less confusing, I should point out that we're playing the Age of Worms campaign at first level. Here's the whole party, male unless stated.

Female Dwarf Rogue: Some sort of neutral. She was arrested for grave robbery and met the barbarian in prison, where she developed a connection with him. Specifically, she's the only person he doesn't regularly consider killing, or hate. She's also the only person he ever listens to.

Half-Orc Barbarian: Neutral Evil instead of Chaotic Evil because he worships a lawful evil deity. Only listens to the rogue. He came to human lands to prove himself a man to his father. He was thrown in prison after he stole a magic weapon from a drunken adventurer and then murdered a number of guards who tried to stop him. He met the rogue when he unintentionally saved her from a bunch of other miners who were angry at her for cheating at a dice game. He finally got out, and proceeded to the tavern that was known as a gang hideout where he immediately grabbed a woman by the hair and started telling her to be his wife. Some patrons took exception to that and told him to stop. He failed his intimidate check so they attacked him and he started beating them to death with a table leg.

Human Fighter, Neutral Good. He just got discharged from the army, and is in need of a job. He went to the tavern with the sorcerer and the cleric to find work.

Human Sorcerer, Some sort of neutral. Another former soldier that knew my character but was several years his senior. Very laid back it seems.

Human Cleric of WeeJas, Lawful or True neutral with evil leanings. He's the sorcerer's surrogate little brother. His foster mother is a cleric of WeeJas who found him in the remains of a village, the only survivor of a dragon attack. His mother was apparently killed while giving birth. He's really screwed up. He is almost as likely to drain someone's life as he is to heal them. Though he seems to only do it when the victim is someone who is near death or isn't very important. So far my character hasn't seen him do it to anyone so trusts him as an acquaintance of his army buddy.

Anyway, after the Barabrian went ape shit the Cleric, Sorcerer, and I sat at our table on the other side of the room. The woman he'd grabbed was tossed aside when he attacked and fled to safety. The cleric cast some sort of weird darkness spell on the area of the fight that didn't affect dark vision, blinding the patrons. The fight continued, with three casualties among the commoners until one of them came up to our table and tried to pick a fight with us. We decided that was enough and the Sorcerer used his mighty charisma to intimidate everyone into stopping the fight, while the cleric disabled his spell. The half orc grabbed the patron he'd caved the head of in and said that he was now his "wife" until the rogue explained that that was a man. The Barbarian quickly dropped him at which point the cleric went to check on the man. Pronouncing him dead when he was in fact alive and draining the last remaining life from him. No one noticed this of course. The Barbarian grabbed another waitress and called her his "wife" then walked over, still holding her, and sat down at a table.

For some reason we joined him there as well as the rogue and ended up discussing the mine. The rogue convinced the Half-Orc to join us to which we inexplicably agreed. The rogue commented that the waitress was listening to our conversation so the Barbarian knocked her unconscious. Finally we decided to leave and the barbarian carried his "wife" out with him.

We left town, the barbarian killed a pig and stole it then we ate it and the next morning we talked about the mine again, the woman had woken up again, and when she heard about the mine started acting like she liked the barbarian, the rogue suggested in orcish that she wasn't trustworthy, so the barbarian knocked her out again. Finally the player of the cleric expressed an interest in murdering her while she was helpless, but didn't say it to anyone.

All this time I've sort of gained the enmity of the Half-Orc by trying to convince him to leave the woman alone. The player has told me that the only reason his character hasn't tried to kill my character is because he doesn't want to kill a PC. Though there's also the fact that the rogue has reminded him repeatedly that we're more useful alive, and that my character in particular is useful since he knows how to get to the mine.

So there's our whole first session of this game. This isn't my first session with this group though.

Any other advice?

I actually got improved disarm at first level. I had been under the mistaken impression that I was an ex-guard, not ex-military, so as a police officer, it made sense to be able to do a nonlethal takedown. I've got standard starting equipment however.

This has all been really helpful though. Well, except you Zim.

Armoury99:

We didn't really make the characters together. When I got to the game the rogue and cleric were already made. I made my fighter, and then the sorcerer got made. The barbarian's player came last. He's not usually a jerk but I think he's pissed because his girlfriend went to study abroad in Turkey. The rogue and the barbarian have a strangely strong connection. The barbarian's player sometimes refers to his character as a pitbull (or Mike Tyson) and the rogue is his handler. Also, all players are male and are not taking personal offense to what the barbarian is doing.

We're playing Age of Worms, Greyhawk. My character, I'd say is Neutral Good with neutral leanings. He didn't interfere with the barfight to try to save the patrons because they were stupid enough to start a fight with the barbarian, and the waitress it was tarted over was released unharmed. He does however have a serious issue with how this second waitress is being treated. I haven't really been making a big enough deal out of it, but we've only played for one session so far.

All this has been really helpful though. I'll definitely try some of this next session. Course come next week wednesday I'll probably be asking for advice on how to deal with the cleric. At least he doesn't have a demon in his head telling him to kill the party this time.

Maybe so, but I never said you were wrong, just that you weren't all that helpful. It's one thing to say things are screwed up, it's another to say how they could be made better.
