[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 5422222, member: 23935"] So far as I noted, the PCs didn't sneak into the city. The city wasn't allowing the refugees in and the players learned a prior enemy was involved, but they decided not to oppose her. The city itself seems neutral to them. The rationale around the table and the instigators of action can certainly adjust how I view the robbery. If the Rogue simply took advantage of the situation and the team decided to bolt rather than support the monk/paladin I'd certainly ignore the incident. If the monk/paladin said "quick grab the scroill while he's down and let's go!" I wouldn't. I don't want to project motives onto the group. It didn't sound like the group was using the scroll as a point of investigation. The group wanted to destroy it, but checked via Augury for short term effects. They stopped the destruction when they got woe. There was no mention of anything of the sort that would imply investigation (Knowledge checks, attempts to Dechipher Script, taking the scroll to a specialist, whatever is withing their capabilities). Railroad frustration can have a group lash out, certainly. but, the group should be capable of acknowledging it OOC after the session as opposed to saying the assault, robbery, and mass destruction were entirely justified because they're PCs.
