What did the people do while they were polymorphed?The obvious answers are the sinister ones, which could lead to attempts to make reparations on the part of any good-aligned characters. Less obvious is that Gip was actually trying to do good somehow. Perhaps everyone he lured into the town was in danger from some powerful enemy and he was trying to hide them from that enemy (this also gives the characters a common goal if that enemy is still a threat). Or maybe he was trying to build an army of light to fight the followers of some dark deity.Or maybe he had reason to believe that everyone he captured was a danger to the world or the forces of good, so he lured them there to neutralize them.On a similar note, maybe it was a prison of sorts, and the PCs were accidentally caught up in it. So everyone else who is released is actually very dangerous, and the original PC is responsible for setting them free. Which, if he's good-aligned at all, means he should be responsible for recapturing them. In this scenario the other PCs could perhaps have been recruited as prison guards, but somehow the magic went awry and transformed them just like it did the people intended to be prisoners.</blockquote>
