Text book Fairytale move, that always ends with children getting eaten.3) talking back after they learned the truth. Not really a bad thing, but not smart when dealing with a powerful being, and I don't care how dead a stranger thinks I am, looting my home is bad.Debatable issues, IMOIs capturing souls inherently evil, even if they are evil souls? Depends on a lot of things. Would this Paladin murder a Necromancy wizard who was working with her? It would be the same as this witch is doing, so killing one would mean you should kill the other.Is the witch evil? We don't know, all we know is that she is doing a ritual, not necessarily powered by the souls.Is looting a dead persons home a bad idea? I would argue yes, but that kind of goes against the classic D&D trope of looting the ancient temple, so it is debatable.As far as I can tell, the optimal choice would have been to run from the scarecrow, rather than kill it, and not start robbing the witch as soon as they got there. Maybe even politely interrupt her ritual, just to let her know you cannot leave her house unless she calls off her guard dogs.</blockquote>
