One case involved an Ormyr which, despite the appearance, is LN.Interestingly, if you look at the monster books, a lot of critters aren't actually evil. Granted, that doesn't guarantee they will listen, but it makes for a potentially interesting road for a less bloodthirsty group.Heck, otyughs are neutral and sentient. Show up with rotting garbage to trade with and you might walk on by!</blockquote>
