[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2341831, member: 12037"] Well, they can't talk to the vitlings or the winter wolves. The vitlings attack on sight (presumably) and the winter wolves are probably no better, having, you know, the scent of their recently dead on you and their Evil algnment. A tribe of vitlings can't take the Cold Ones, apparently, though the wolves can hold them back, and if there's a wolf for every villiager, then that makes sense, its a lot of wolves. That leaves the PCs in a hard situation, though. The boy obviously doesn't want to be sacrificed, but he knows that he needs to be for the good of his villiage. The good of the many, and all that, says that his loss is necessary to ensure the survival of the larger group. But, I see noone of Lawful alignment in your group, and in fact, many chaotics. Generally speaking, not to straightjacket - but generaly, that means that they wouldn't think that this is an acceptable deal. No one boy should have to lose their life just so a group of privalaged others can live. If the tribesmen truly deserve to live their lives, then they should fight for it. Especially to a chaotic neutral mindset, I would imagine. The boy is not going to die for the townspeople, but they do deserve to live as well. In the end, I'm not sure the exact outcome, but the boy would be coming with us. I would like to warn the villiagers that their sacrifice has been stopped, and they should prepare themselves accordingly. I'm sure this could be done through some kind of magic, illusion or [i]message [/i]or something (or both). Then its off to find the gnomish city with our new sidekick. [/QUOTE]
