No.  Should he get the players involved yes.  There were plenty of actions that the DM or other could have taken to get them involved that didn't break the rules. (See my last post)It is always about the PCs over the time/plot line when it comes to active play or not.  Making or it this case allowing characters to sit around for the entire session because they are making a valid decision isn't right.  Making a bunch of PCs sit around is not in the spirit of the game.  Enforce the rules and let the PCs play. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
