[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2345742, member: 463"] Leaving aside the annoying metagame arguments about how it's unfair to put PCs in moral quandaries, I think the group acted very Lawful and un-Chaotic in putting the needs of the abstract Many (the vitlings & their mission) above the needs of the present One (the boy). That's assuming it was a CG vs LG debate. If the PCs didn't care about the boy and were looking after their own skin, they were Neutral. I think you can justify their behaviour on any grounds _except_ Chaotic Good. OTOH there was once a story in 2000AD where the very CG Judge Anderson had to kill an innocent boy to stop him being sacrificed in a ceremony that would unleash hell on Earth. She did it, but she sure felt bad about it afterwards. And that was a case where she had no chance to rescue him. My impression of this group is that they are basically acting True Neutral. I think if I were playing CG I'd have taken the boy with me & tried to find a solution. LN I'd have sent him on his way. Neutral, Lawful Good or Neutral Good it would depend on the importance of my assigned mission and likelihood of survival (esp if Neutral). The obvious solution would be to wipe out the Cold Ones and try to reach an agreement with the Winter Wolves if possible. [/QUOTE]
