[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8922097, member: 29398"] So the player just roleplayed his mage right out of the party. That's cool - the player is being true to the character wherever that may lead. Kudos! I had much the same thing happen in my game, only the character stayed with the party: she had found a Crown that the party didn't yet know it was looking for, stowed it away in her pack, and soon afterwards (unknown to anyone else) was taken over and possessed by said Crown. For the rest of that adventure and nearly all of the next where they and several other groups were actively seeking the Crown she carried it around in her backpack, until at the end of that adventure it took over, forced her to leave the party and made her give the Crown up to the opposition. (the party then wiped out said opposition, so all ended well) Yeah, what happens in-character has to stay in-character. Otherwise, Personally I sometimes find it easier to DM when a party is arguing with each other, as I can more or less sit back and watch until-unless I have to referee an in-character fight. Any situation/adventure/etc. prep I've done can always be used next week... :) [/QUOTE]
