Our group had been doing a quest equivalent of the rod of many parts, except that instead of a rod it was a crown.  Anyway, when we nabbed the last piece my wizard grabbed it mentioned that he thought he was the best person to keep it safe and teleported away. The PC was true neutral and, in a word, arrogant. But the important part of all of this is that I never tried to hide that I was absconding with the last piece when I left.   Although I had never hinted to the other players until the moment that I would do this, I had discussed it with the DM ahead of time.  In addition, I had no expectation of that PC continuing with the group.  I accepted that I was going to cut ties and we were going our separate ways and that the PC had become an NPC should the other PCs decide to pursue him.So I think something like this can work but the player of the PC has to accept the consequences of their actions.  Also I think that while it was a surprise reveal, it helped that I didn't try to hide what I was doing and it didn't harm the group directly.</blockquote>
