[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 1306721, member: 4530"] The PC already had over 5,000 gp from his gladiatorial matches and bodyguard work. He was expecting another few thousand gold in a few days from another "high risk, short term" bodyguarding job he'd just pulled off. He didn't [i]need[/i] the pirate treasure, although, admittedly, he did go through absolute hell trying to get it, and yes, he would have shared some of it with his family, and he had no intention of shafting anyone out of a fair share of the treasure, even during the fight when he made that offer to get the NPC to surrender (after repeatedly shooting him in the chest with poisoned bolts!). His other excuses were: "There must have been a curse on the pirate treasure that made me kill my poor friend in cold blood like that! I am as shocked as the rest of you, my friends... But there is nothing we can do for him now. We must live for the living, not concern ourselves with the dead. What a shame, but these things happen, eh?" "That blasted unholy warrior with his strange, barbarous ways must have put a curse on me to make me do evil; we should kill him... and split his share of the treasure before he curses the rest of you!" :D [/QUOTE]
