Those silly players! I added 3 new players to my group, and opted for the existing characters to stumble across a slaver group and rescue the new players from a prison wagon thingie. It all worked out well, but one of the slavers surrendered so they tossed him in the cage. Now, they've encounted a few brigands, defeated them, stabalized the ones that are bleeding, and tossed them in their wagon-cage too.
I told them there is probably a bounty available in the nearby city for capturing and turning in brigands and slavers. I have a strong feeling they're going to keep their cage with them the whole rest of the campain, collecting enemies to convert to quick cash at the next city.
They're also using a small wheeled platform tied to the back of the wagon to carry loot. Usually enemy armor and weapons, unless magical, is too bulky to bother taking in to sell. Now they're collecting all of it. The brigands they defeated were also riding light war horses, which I suddenly realized was the most valuable treasure they've found in one encounter so far.
I don't mind them doing these things. It's a convenient way for the paladin to be merciful and lawful, and the cleric to be all goody-goody stabalizing fallen foes like his particular religion (the God of Mercy) wants him to. I particularly like players taking what was given them and coming up with a creative use for it.
I do have a question though. What would you expect a good-sized, lawful good city to pay out to people hauling in common bandits and brigands? 10gp per head? More, less?
