[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 7346460, member: 6788652"] Sounds like the player got a bit confused, thinking that the feeling of being free meant that the wolves were somehow evil or had become hosts to parasitic nastinesses, rather than thinking that this feeling showed them to be now ex-mind controlled. If that's the case then he thought he was doing for the best. On the other hand if he just thought, hurr hurr free throat slitting opportunity ooh shiny and red...maybe there is more to it. Don't forget that as DM you can buy yourself all kinds of thinking time by giving a knowing look and making reference to the big picture/long game. And it may be that he continues in this (opened) vein in which case a session where the Circle summon him/teleport him to a special emergency moot to discuss his behaviour may be in order...leading to a temporary loss of powers until a quest is fulfilled by way of reparation. On the other hand it may be that he was genuinely wrong end of the sticked and this doesn't show up again. But tell the players, punishment (if warranted) can be swift, or it can be slow in coming. But come it will. [/QUOTE]
