[QUOTE="Haldarin, post: 88889, member: 1735"] He is jeopardizing the safety of the Barony by holding back weapons that should be rightfully used to protect the lives of the people. Instead of arming troops with the magic weapons, the baron will need to spend money from the horde to rebuild his forces. That will reduce the amount of money available to support the families of the deceased. His actions hurt a lot of people. He shouldn't be allowed to receive atonement until he recognizes that, returns the treasure and asks for forgiveness. How you handle his paladin status until then is up for grabs. I would start the power loss slowly. The goal is for him to realize what he has done and respond because it is the right thing to do, not because he has displeased the godfather. Send him dreams that hint at the consequences of his actions. Tell him that he begins to notice that he doesn't feel connected as to his god during his morning prayers. Maybe his Detect Evil starts to take longer to work and stat bonuses for Saving Throws and Smite Evil start falling. Think about the impact of his withheld treasure on the Barony and imagine a timeline of events. The longer he takes to return with the treasure, the greater the consequences. The PC's responsiveness will determine the extent of the damage and his atonement. [/QUOTE]
