[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 2624382, member: 6092"] Did the characters actually ever do any violence? Or was it all threatened? Was anything damaged or destroyed? If not, there is little crime they actually did. However, the temple of Waukeen (And, yes, they are or can be the bankers of the FR) will probably not have much to do with them in the future. This could be a big hindrence. And, they are N, so they will have no problem turning the party away if they can't afford healing. If the clerics were harmed, then it would be a crime against clergy. In this case, with no maiming or other serious harm, it would be a fine. Again, the temple won't be happy with them and their reputations will be hurt. In the end, it depends on what EXACTLY they did and what your groups definition of LG is. Is Jack Bauer (of 24) LG? If so, he has really skirted the line between doing the moral thing and doing the thing that got the job done. Will the Lords' Alliance back their decisions? Or will the LA condone their decisions? Lots of role playing opportunities and penalties there. Are they showing regret? Have you explained, after the session, your ideas about the cleric's role in it? And after that, how did they have their characters react? I know that after the session when my group talks about things, we each learn some valuable things the other people were thinking. It really helps. This might have been tough but perhaps you could back out and tell the players information. "Your character doesn't think this acolyte or the priest have anything to do with it." If they buy that and still use torture, or whatever, then the characters probably did cross a line. That's me, though, and how I would have handled it. A few coppers worth for you. I hope it helps. Have a good one! Take care! edg [/QUOTE]
