She becomes upset when she loses the ego save and then has to do what the weapon wants.  - Ive had to ask her twice now to roll her damage with american dice.- If somthing doesnt go her way, she consinstently brings it up.  Case in point, this weeken the pcs had a chance to investigate a orphanage or escort a carvan.  There were only two pcs with her when she askedto look around the orphanage.  One of which could not say anything the other didn't like her and paid her no mind.  All week we have had to listen to her talk about how we should have checked the orphanage and "no one listens to her".  Has anyone ever dealt with a character like this, because there is nothing like this characterization in the DMG 2.  How do i handle this? I am at my wits end because it seems like every week i spent an hour dealing with her problems that takes away from time i could be prepping for the game?</blockquote>
