[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 105088, member: 232"] Killing them might be good, but that's a last resort for any DM. The guys CN, so play that up. Have it look like he's going to kill the PCs (even go through killing any NPCs, familioars, or animal campanions they have to show that the guy is going to kill them) but at the last minute the guy changes his mind, he's CN after all. Instead he strips them of everything they have and trades them to a group of goblins or other lesser creatures to make allies of. Under normal circumstance the PCs could wipe out the goblins (or what ever they are) but with no equipment and quite possible injured, it'll make for a tough encounter. THen they will really want to kill your NPC cause he has all their stuff. In the mean time the NPC keeps the stuff he can use (and actually equip him with it) and the rest he sells or gives away for future favors. [/QUOTE]
