[QUOTE="Petrosian, post: 97159, member: 1149"] Uhh... Ok so suddenly the cultists turn into blood thirsty savages? Cultists hunt down party and then start talking.... if the party can see the lone miscreant so can the NPCs. Given "polite but insane" cultists you have a wide latitude... Sure, maybe if push comes to shove the cultists will assault and kill everyone but more interesting possibilities arise from talking... 1> Perhaps the priests realize this is an opportunity to ENLIGHTEN the misguided thief... maybe they will allow bygones to be bygones and cut whatever "loan you the piece" deal they were already inclined if the thief makes amends... He stays with them in service for a week... He endures one of their tests of character, which for a looney bunch can be more embarrassing than deadly... He gives up a valued item of his own as payback for the theft (akin to triple the value on a bum check)... He must submit to "roo roo"... use your imagination. he can still be taught a lesson in cooperation AND the party can make their decision as to whether to "encourage" him to make amends if only "for the party" or whether they are gonna fight unnecessary battles to the death for every lame brained stunt... frankly it sounds like a wonderful growing moment for the party.
