(I actually started a thread about this from my end before I saw this one.)It's not "for no good reason." The Midwood campaign is one with a great deal of history and the adventures they go on flow out of that history. The characters' base of operations, Maidensbridge, was named after a girl who was to run away with her lover but, while waiting at a bridge in the woods, a river troll came up and gobbled her up (and later him). Now, several hundred years later, the river trolls are coming back, as part of the coming dark ages. Having a force of trolls instead of just a lone one is very purposeful. (The scrag mother was more intelligent than most and was a level 1 adept, as a sign of that.)The campaign's been going on a year, and this is the first real "paladin issue" that's come up. My goal is not to torture anyone for playing a heroic paladin -- far from it -- but it's a difficult path, and periodically, things will happen where the path won't be so clear. It's hardly the thrust of the campaign, which is likely to be big and dramatic and heroic for the rest of 2007.</blockquote>
