You should always try and encourage your player to seek creative solutions.Same here. PC did something stupid in game, now she suffers the consequences. Every NPC she consults in-game might be saying they've never seen anything like it. But on a meta-level the DM should keep encouraging the player to seek solutions to the problem.On the other hand, you might be stuck with a PC you don't like, doesn't fit in the group or has no motivation whatsoever to take part in the campaign (i.e. you might have made a dwarf and end up in a campaign question for the the return of an ancient Elven god. Motiviton might be low in some settings.) In such a case the DM should allow a PC to retire. People split up in real life as well.But in your case, it sounds a bit like bad role-playing to me. But far from me to judge since I don't believe there is a right way of role playing. Try and find the solution that fits your group.</blockquote>
