On the one hand, per alignment most of the characters should have wanted to help the small boy. But on the other hand, they knew that the challenge (based on what the DM has told them) was probably too much for them to handle without outside intervention. On the other other hand, this being D&D, the challenge being presented to the players probably has a solution unless the DM is a real jerk. That's why I hate it when DM's force players into situations that require these kinds of alignment debates. Ultimately, the players have to make a decision that requires them to either do what their alignment dictates and die (if the challenge really is impossible) or expect to be bailed out by some as of yet unknown force that must exist for this to be a reasonable challenge. Either that or act in opposition to their alignment simply out self-preservation. Sure this is "realistic", but the game is also supposed to be about having fun. I for one, don't enjoy being put into impossible situations.</blockquote>
