We came across a statue on a sand bar, and a water weird attacked us. Now, if you know, water weird's alignment directly relates to the water they are in, the water was corrupt, therefore the weird was evil. We roll initiative, we roll arcana and figure we could purify it with a purify food and water spell, which none of us had. We fight it, It's a normal fight, I'm doing absurd amounts of damage with dawn bringer, like normal, and my one friend uses his wand of magic missiles to finish the weird off. I find two gems in the statue's eyes, and taking them, I'm subject to two contagion spells, the first doesn't effect me but the second does, I shake off the effects with a lesser restoration spell. Suddenly the group turns on me, berating me for "Killing a friendly creature" Meaning the Weird, who was EVIL, which I didn't kill, my friend did. What made that Weird any different then those Drow, that Troll, those Koa-Toa, the Merrows? We killed them too! Then one of best friend scolded me, saying "Why would you not take the opportunity for pacifism?" Which we had no opportunity to take anyway! The druid who had openly hoarded treasure, stole from merchants, and destroyed the environment for no damn reason other than for "Fun" called me out on being greedy because I took the gems to sell and split between the party, Shouting "I hope you die" While I was rolling my saving throws against contagion. The fighter's entire dialogue for the the next 5 minutes was "I hate you so much" My friend who had killed the weird being the only one on my side, or at least a neutral party, saying "But I killed it!" I have saved the party on numerous occasions, being the ranger who gathered all the food while everyone else sat back like it didn't matter, when the poor ranger was breaking his back for them! I am also the only combat character that could kill stuff in less than thirty minutes (Everyone else's characters were just jokes, I actually tried to make a solid character both mechanically and role play wise, my friend who had yelled at me's best attacking spell was produce flame, Druids get better spells than that at level five!) I am also simultaneously the DPS, the Tank, and the healer. My lesser restoration had saved the greedy druid from certain death, and this is how he repays me! What did I do? Why do they hate me now? I'm not exaggerating this at all, this is ACTUALLY WHAT HAPPENED</p></blockquote><p></p>
