[QUOTE="Louis Jivanni, post: 7317477, member: 6924151"] Aaah gotcha, I first say I agree with Mort & Quickleaf. I mainly asked because we just started a game (only two sessions so far with me and my coworkers) and we kinda have that issue. tl;dr Our greedy chaotic neutral fighter is giving the party some worry and just obtained the Deck of Many Things... luckily he cant read the engravings yet but I'm not sure he cares.. he's used to playing solo rpgs, but we're all still having fun I'm playing a neutral good milktoast noble cleric of pelor (give me a break i haven't played a real campaign since 3.5 and i miss Jozan lol), another is a chaotic good racist elf ranger (against full/half orcs and dwarves), and lastly our chaotic neutral (sigh) fighter who likes to kill, threaten and use fire a lot (magic initiate)... we still aren't friends and we've started the lost mines campaign...oh yea we have an npc rogue too..he's well.. roguish.. ((we started at lvl 1)) Funny enough, we were resting after the first battle which started off rough because the fighter ran off the caravan to grab some arrows from a caravan in the distance and was ambushed by 4 goblins + a boss goblin.. I healed him with healing word after killing one of the gobs just to find out he could heal himself with second wind lol i also had to heal myself after being brought down to 1 hp by the boss..... Anyway we began to rest from the fight and were awoken to loud noises coming from the ransacked caravan we found... turns out it was an ogre eating the dead horses of the caravan. The fighter attacked the ogre immediately and we followed suite to keep him from dying since we never recovered from the first fight and i had 0 heals. We eventually got him down super low (luckily it crit failed) and it began to beg for it's life in common but the fighter wanted to kill him anyway and I rolled to see if I could hear the conversation. Rolled a 19 (woot woot) and instantly yelled for the fighter to spare him, which he reluctantly complied to. I then used a medicine check to remove the arrows from him safely and patch up his wounds. I felt bad because when he pleaded for his life he stated he was just hungry and wanted food to take back to his troupe. I mean we attacked it first without warning so it made sense and I received inspiration for changing the course of the story and doing something cool while the others were just going to mindlessly kill it. Too long of a story made shorter, he took me and the fighter (i went to watch him because he kept threatening the ogre like the whole time) to his conclave gave us a bag of a few treasures they've collected over some time and while I went to purify the horse meat and their drinking well, the fighter pocketed some magic items from the bag.. Funny enough, I used detect magic earlier on the boss goblin, which I mistakenly thought took an hour to cast as a ritual, so I guess he thought I wouldn't use it again on these items and not see that he was concealing some lol.. but we'll see what happens tomorrow...
