Again, there are more of these things out there and I am not sure that negotiations are possible, we may be beyond that at this point.  We may need everyone just to get out of the canyon alive.Bandris Noulg: Your mentioning of a unifying theme was what kept the DM away from any evil campaign to begin with.  The unifier to date has been survival.  When we entered the lawless town, the town was raided by the military soon after our arrival.  It took effort by everyone to survive those encounters.  I rescued the thief.  The evil cleric stablized the necro.  The monk rescued the thief.  We were very much driven by the need to stick together to make it.Then we went to the Underdark and that was further reinforced.  We were constantly travelling great distances and worried about food and light sources.  We dreaded not completing the mission and returning to 3 angry illithids but this mission seemed way beyond our abilities.Then we were slaves for 7 months, granted that is hard to convey in real terms, but one must imagine the consequences that go along with that.The DM has been incredibly open with what we want to do.  And I think he is a very good and competent GM.  He can roll with the punches quite well.  I think the theme of survival was present in all 3 long gaming sessions we have had to date.  He is willing to discuss rulings and decisions very freely.Sabathius42: Funny you and others mention it, but I told this whole situation to my girlfriend over dinner as I was obviously preoccupied (yes I am that much of a geek, and yet she still loves me) and she said the same thing: give them to the elf-bees.I think that either I will be making a new character, or the thief and evil priest will be, if I give them to the elf-bees.  Not sure how this all might play out.  I might have a chat with the DM and see what he thinks would work best without the game getting out of hand.Sadly it seems that no one can think of a way that we can all "just get along".  Thanks again and keep the ideas coming.-neg</blockquote>
