[QUOTE="Carebear2326, post: 1212800, member: 15151"] [b]Reply[/b] Thanks, but I am not too sure that things will turn out with these players. The barbarian & the sorceress are a married couple. The barbarian, the wife, made it pretty clear last night after her character died that she would not accept her character to be resurected at all & did not wish to make a new character either. My character didn't help much either. I ran when I realized that more orcs were coming & didn't even bother to check if everyone else could get out ok. When my character left, the sorceress kinda did a childish thing. Her character instead of casting spells from a safe place on a wall jumped down to where there was a wolf type NPC controlled by a Hobgoblin NPC. We think it was just a throwing his hands up in the air move, kinda like saying "fine if everyone else leaves, I am going to die fighting". I feel guilty that my actions caused at least one of the players to not want to return, but the barbarian was fixed on only killing orcs, so she took off for the keep without even a thought to the possibility & likelyhood that the entire party could die. We had really gotten lucky these past couple of times that no one really died until now. Our group totally refuses to listen to the bard or the rogue/pirate. We are pretty sure that the barbarian, either personally or in character, has been holding a grudge on the rogue that is not deserved at all. At least last night me & my husband, since we do run the campaign at our place, after everyone else left, sat down & talked to the DM about what was happening & our feelings about how things were going. He agreed that we are just not acting like a party, just a bunch of characters who for some reason decide to go together & kill some orcs. I hate to say it, but if the 2 decide not to come back, maybe we could find someone else to play who would work better with the group. If they do drop out, we will be looking for another 1 or 2 players since it is hard to play with just 4 players. Well thanks again for all the advice. I really do appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
