[QUOTE="Whitey, post: 1373667, member: 15994"] Whitey purloins a quote, but it's quite applicable here. Small minds discuss people. Good minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideals. Or in D&D: Average PCs fight monsters. Good PCs fight because of events. Great PCs fight because of ideals. The party just sent a fallen angel back home cryin' to mommy. That's no small accomplishment. From a metagame standpoint, they didn't do all that much - XPs perhaps, but no lewt or chance to cavort around taunting the corpse. From a greater metagame standpoint, this unhittable incarnate evil just got served a heaping spoonful of good and apparently doesn't have the stomach for it. It is likely welcome to another such serving should it muster the courage to return - and if it's called rather than [I]summoned[/I] it could well be expunged forever. Good just booted bad to the curb. Moral victory? Sure. Do it right and they're all moral victories. [/QUOTE]
