Did that elf turn herself into this with her magic last night? I’ll probably wear off soon. Ignore it for now. And the only thing you lead, is us into trouble.
OOC: oh god. We were disfunctional before... Edwin, Tiax, Minsc, Alora, Aerie, Anomen and the Dwarf... those sprites/brownies are going to regret asking us for help.
“Tiax is no elf! Tiax is the ruler of all! ‘It’s a privilege to stand in Tiax’s shadow! Only ignorant buffoons would think otherwise! No matter, you will still have your uses, buffoonish ignorance aside.”
OOC: Alora is going to swoon when she discovers Edwin is in the party. Alora thinks Edwin is the smartest guy in all Faerun bar none. Alora thinks Edwin is only joking when he pretends to be evil . . .
“Tiax is no elf! Tiax is the ruler of all! ‘It’s a privilege to stand in Tiax’s shadow! Only ignorant buffoons would think otherwise! No matter, you will still have your uses, buffoonish ignorance aside.”
Uhh... I should have went with the druid... that elf better change herself back soon.
"We shouldn't judge by first impressions Anomen. Most people are nice if you take the time to get to know them. I am sure Tiax won't be any different."
Sure. You need to check this thread more than once every other day or so.
OOC: Not sure how possible that is going to be. I’m starting school (12 credits) and working full time. I check in as often as I have time, but up until this point this is as often as I have been able to. Also, I work nights Eastern Standard Time so I’m on the opposite schedule of most people on this thread. Do you still want me to play? I’m fine skipping rounds here and there. We could just say “I’m weighing my options (those foolish cretins think they’re worth my magical expenditures!)”
“Hmm, yes, what is this red glowing light? Quickly, hafling, yes you, the one with the obnoxious grin! Step into that red glow! I must see the effects it has on a sentient being (also, she seems to be the most expendable of the group, hardly any loss to me).”
“(And if she dies as the rat, I will know it works on sentient hamsters as well... now is my chance to be rid of that thing... that giant buffoon is lost without his cuddly rodent... yes...) What? Oh, nothing, I was not pondering evil plans, of course not. Care to yourself, nosy one!”

"Me? Where do you want me to stand? Is this like a magic trick? I like magic tricks." Alora does as Edwin tells her and is disappointed when nothing happens.
Still, she is excited at meeting new people. "Isn't this great everybody? Making new friends? Going on adventures together? It's so great. I think we have gathered our party so let's venture forth. Let's go to Haven and save the Princess! Alora's Marauders to the rescue!"
“(The creature speaks understandably... surprising considering it’s obviously inbred heritage.) Who I am and my motives for lending my skill to balance your ineptitude is none of your concern, though you will soon come to know me as your greatest asset. (Not that he could possibly comprehend the value I will contribute... does a monkey know the pains its master goes through to care for it?)”
“(Disappointing that the halfling did not confirm my hypothesis, though she has proven her worth as an imbecilic fool for my designs. Still, she must be rewarded...) You there! Bubbly one! Yes, you have my praise for repositioning yourself... and all that. Stop gawking!”
Aerie had been standing back in stunned silence, glancing between the red-cloaked wizard and the maniac gnome, wondering where her friends had disappeared to...
"Anomen, Edwin seems awfully clever. Do you think I should make him my second in command?"
"I don't think that would be wise, Alora," she whispered in response to the halfling. It was all she could manage at the moment. Why does he keep muttering to himself? she thought. And is it just me, or is he dressed like a Thayan red wizard?
She could hardly spare the mental capacity for Tiax. The poor fellow obviously wasn't so right in the head...but, he was a gnome. Aerie knew better than most how eccentric they could be, thanks to her own Uncle Quayle.
All he required was a little indulgence.
"Hello, great Tiax," she greeted him with the sweetest of smiles. "My name is Aerie. It's an honor to have you with us."
OOC: I wrote this out initially thinking Tiax was chaotic neutral. Nope, he's chaotic evil, this'll be fun. XD
Tiax smiles and nods. “It pleases Tiax to see that some of you have some measure of respect for your betters. Do try to follow her example in the future.”
"Owww! Something hurt me!" wails Alora. "I think from now on we should all stay out of the red glow."
OOC: I had totally missed @LadyRhian's description of the red glow and what it does to animals. Even Alora isn't generally this dumb. I'm happy she survived.
"I think we should follow the path to the castle and find somewhere where it is safe," Alora says, trying to sound authoritative, which is hard when you have just done something stupid even by your own low standards.
*mumbles something along the lines of* Torm is surely testing me here... if I don't get my knighthood after this... *while he follows the dim witted halfling.*

Summon monster doesn't exist in 2e. You could take Summon Undead instead.
