[QUOTE="enrious, post: 95467, member: 2126"] Perhaps I didn't make it clear earlier but this is the first adventure the party has gone on and even at that they are not by a long shot a cohesive party - they are working together because two of the members have friends that disappeared down the hole. Does this sound realistic? Paladin: "Well met. I am going in search of my missing friend." Aasimar: "Well met. I am going in search of my missing friend." Paladin: "Then let us pool our strength. First we need to discuss how we're going to divide up the treasure and magical items we find..." [b][/b] Sounds great. Should the party last I'll consider doing the same. [b][/b] Well, duh of course we don't yet have a treasure division agreement in place - we've been a little more concerned with finding our lost friends to concern ourselves with it. As I said, if the party lasts I'm sure some sort of agreement should go in place. The problem is that I don't think the paladin would be willing to place the fate of the whistle in the hands of chance or a party vote. He has a higher authority to answer to than the party's sensibilities. [b][/b] Absolutely. It would be at the least chaotic and likely also evil, IMO. [b][/b] True but he does know the paladin is a paladin of Kelemvor. He knows what paladins are and knows that Kelemvor is the lord of the dead. The paladin swore an oath in Kelemvor's name that that paladin did detect evil on the whistle. I thought it was legendary that a paladin's word was his bond? [b][/b] I agree which is why the paladin didn't attack the aasimar. It's also why the paladin detects evil regularly - it's very easy to start the slippery slope. [b][/b] So instead it's better for the paladin to know that the aasimar is not really a friend of his and that he can't trust the aasimar to cover the paladin's back? Oh, and while he's at it, it's better for the paladin to turn his back on his code, his vows, the edicts of his god, his personal sense of right and wrong. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
