Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sigg" data-source="post: 2348515" data-attributes="member: 30546">Here's my take, based on how I would play the alignments:Far as I can see, the only one who would truely have a problem trying to save the boy would be Xaephod, as his "self-centered narcissist" nature would make him more concerned with his own skin than with helping anyone....he would argue vehemently against helping. The Deacon, if I were playing him, would be driven by his good nature to save not only the boy, but the entire barbarian village. Not only is it the right thing to do, in the sense of protecting the lives of innocents, but it might soften up the attitudes of the Vitlings and maybe even create an opportunity for missionary work. Xaephod's missus would, of course, side with her hubby...but would also relent fairly quickly if he were persuaded or coerced. Louis would quickly realize that saving not only the child, but the entire Vitling tribe from both the wolves and the Cold Ones would provide a considerable boost to his personal fame as well as providing plenty of fodder for boasting and tall tales in the taverns. Tharon would agree with the deacon right away...saving both the individual child, and his whole tribe would be the right and good thing to do. Rurik would go right along with the rest in wanting to save people from the oppresive system currently in place, and even Frostmourne would relish the imminent killing and chaos of battle. Nothing in the blurb I read indicates that any specific deadline is in place...only that previous delays had occured...so there seems to be no real obstacle to "doing the right thing" in helping the Vitlings. After dispatching the one wolf so quickly I would have been encouraged that they "aren't so tough" and the fact that they would be hunting me down anyway would prompt me to take the fight to them preemptively...perhaps even surprising them. I would reason (at least from the deacon's POV) that if they were truely protecting the Vitlings from the Cold Ones, then by being forced to dispatch them obligated me to deal with the Cold Ones as well in order to avoiding having innocents pay for my actions.</blockquote>
