Is the Monk already obligated to work with them, or is he already obligated in any sense to follow the wishes of any other members in the party? If the answer the answer is yes, then the Monk is violating the trust already placed in him by other characters. If on the other hand, he has no such commitments, then I see no reason why he could not keep the gauntlets and warn everyone to keep their distance. His obligations toward law might then take the form of a need to be upfront about the danger he poses to others, and perhaps a respect for any decisions they make as a result of that.One problem with this is that it may present a situation in which the other characters tell the monk they don't want him around anymore. In other words, the real negative consequence here might be more along the lines of a deal breaker for party membership. Then it's, "...okay, your monk has cool gauntlets, and now he's retired. What do you have in mind for a replacement character?"</blockquote>
