[QUOTE="TenseAlcyoneus, post: 1054103, member: 11422"] Reaper, believe me -- DonAdam hasn't simplistic notions on anything. He is a fine DM and always thinks things through very well. I think we have a legitimate disagreement based on what 'alignment' actually represents in the game. Well, I can see no reason for the monk to forgive and forget. Lawful Good characters, I think, ought to react to betrayals in a very serious way. I've previously explained my views on what alignment is; and, this would be a definite tendency of an LG character. However, I've also stipulated to BiggusGeekus that profession can affect this. DonAdam has rightly pointed this out regarding the monk's alignment change, and the different alignment of the monk's order. Even with all of those qualifications, there is simply no reasonable way, IMHO, for the monk to [I]continue[/I] to confide and place his life in the hands of Gimble, without significant time and effort on the Gnomes part. Some "atonement" has already happened with the Gnome taking some rather unlikely self-less acts (themselves suspect for a Lawful Neutral character). Nevertheless, the tension of the betrayal ought to not leave the monk for a second. Certainly, taking the word of the Gnome over other untainted party members, continuing to practice infiltration missions without any reservation, and generally acting as if nothing ever happened seems inappropriate to me. More importantly, we all lose some nice role-playing opportunities while trying to continue to adventure with the betrayal in our recent history -- think of tension in the [I]Treasure of the Sierra Madre[/I] style.
