Hello all,
This is my first post here on EN, so I would like to say hello! I am having a bit of an issue with my current party I am with. My buddies and I started a campaign about a year ago and have been through about 25 sessions. We started with only two members in the party, me and one friend who has never been introduced to RPG's. We have now added two other members to our party, making for a complete band of adventurers. Unfortunately, it seems that this entire campaign is getting throw out for some unfortunate circumstances that are as follows: One of the new characters came in as a paladin, a holy knight of Taurm. The player that started with me did something outlandish (read: murdered an innocent kid within a town), which gave him two options: be turned on by the paladin and the party as a whole, or repent and give his life to Taurm. Just after this, we were attacked by two mindflayers, one of which managed to actually suck out the brain of the newly holy druid. After hisbrain was sucked out and the mindflayers were defeated, we did a ritual, calling upon his new god to bring him back. Luckily, it worked but the DM brought him back with an intelligence of 1 (instead of a true resurrection). So one character is a braindead druid and the paladin simply doesn't like his character. Instead of doing anything about the situation, the DM simply turned away and started an entirely new campaign back at level 3. I am honestly not too interested in this new campaign and I felt much too connected to our original campaign to simply throw it all away. What should I do? Two players want this new campaign (two powergaming types) and me and the 4th party member want to continue the original campaign. Can anyone give me some advice? I have told the DM that I am not enjoying this and would like to go back, but it is hard to argue against the other two.
Thank you for your help!
