Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rokes" data-source="post: 2182210" data-attributes="member: 27508">THE DM's response.As the DM for Cvrinn, I can't help but take a small amount of offense to the assumptions recently made that I've given the players only one choice for obtaining the said item.  However, that offense is very small, and I'm actually quite enjoying this thread, and all the views presented within.A bit of background:Two of the party’s members (not the druid) are twins and sons of a well-known artifact merchant.  They are both neutral, and were raised to join their fathers adventuring parties to retrieve items of value from "those who no longer needed/wanted/deserved them."  Essentially, a shop driven by tales of treasure who fund expeditions to find and eventually sell the items.  While this shop, named "Your Loss, Our Find," is well-known, they are far from a big operation.  They specialize mostly in exotic hard to find items.  The merchant that the party is dealing with is the "Wal-mart" of the city.  They sell everything, from armor, to weapons, to jewelry, even beef jerky!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  The sons of this Merchant also used to bully the twins growing up, as the Merchant was much better off, and of a quite superior mind-set.  As you can see there is a deep hatred (jealousy) for this other shop.The item in question belonged to a wizard of some power.  This item was lost years ago, but now a friend of that wizard is asking this party to retrieve the item which is believed to be in the Merchant's possession in order to gain a key that the party requires.  Attempts to locate the object via the spell of the same name have failed around the Merchant's shop/residence.  Several characters have attempted to talk to the shop lackeys about the item, with none of them having a clue what they are talking about.Responding to some earlier comments, I'm not going to tell Cvrinn what actions he can and can't do with his Exalted status.  I will, however, revoke his status if he commits a deed that warrants it.  It is up to him as a player and a character to decide what he feels is appropriate, it is my job to let him know what Ehlonna thinks.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I am of the opinion that through proper atonement, any status can be restored, but the requirements for the atonement (in this case) will be more than a simple 5th level spell.All said, twofalls actually hit the nail on the head.  I won't say on which post, but he's of the right mind.  Let's just say, in my game, there is always more going on then what it seems to be...</blockquote>
