Even if they do, being LN why would they care? They're just engaging in commerce using the currency of the realm, it's not like they are the one trapping the souls. The only reason I can think of is if they draw the ire of the rest of the party. I think the LG characters would have more of a problem with it but seems like they are turning a blind eye.Alignment has always been so subjective and too open to interpretation that I think it's good that it has effectively vanished from the game. Ask 100 players and 100 DMs this question (or any other) and you'll get a wide range of varying answers. Murdering someone in cold blood is evil. Giving a starving peasant a gold piece to feed his family is good. Standing by watching and doing nothing while the evil person murders the peasant for the gold coin that the good person just gave them is neutral. This example is pretty cut and dry but most situations in D&D that call into question a person's alignment usually aren't. Add law and chaos to the equation and it gets even muddier.</blockquote>
