The only thing I might add to BlackMoria's clear and well presented statement is, based on the information presented, would be that it's a game. If two players are behaving in a selfish manner and damaging the game for another player then the purpose of the game is being defeated... to have fun! The players in question can argue that they are "just playing their characters", but the bottom line is they are being deceitful, selfish, and based on the information presented, childish. When what a few want comes at the expense of someone else at the table, the game has gone wrong.The DM's "job" is to see to it that everyone is having fun, and if someone isn't to find out what he/she can do to address it and correct is so that everyone can enjoy the game, within reason. To say that a DM should never "railroad" players is as inaccurate as to say that DM's should always railroad the game. There is only one real rule to gaming... to have fun. Once the fun goes missing, why exactly are you playing?</blockquote>
