[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 6888341, member: 6801226"] If the group is treading into morally troubling areas, I tend to have an obviously good force (like an angel or an old school paladin) interact hostilely with them (it doesn't necessarily have to be at the level of conflict, in fact it is better to build up to a fight) or an obviously evil force interact like they are allies (and it should be as creepy as you feel comfortable doing). Your player's PC's actions seem like a good fit for Yeenoghu, since hyenas and gnolls (plus ghouls back in the day) have a "desecrating the dead" feel to them. Depending on their level, I might arrange a fight with gnolls, and have a vrock show up and stop a gnoll from attacking the PC, because he is "favored by our lord." The important thing is have options for the party (or the PC) to get back in the good if that is what they want. Unless they are 20th level, I figure they don't rate a conversation with the gods (not to mention that while getting to the gods is fun, arguing morality with them tends to be a drag on a lot of parties), but formal quests for atonement or random news of some great evil that the party can deal with are good.
