[QUOTE="Stuntman, post: 4912104, member: 84817"] The way I see it, you prestented an opportunity for the party to gain an ally. Instead, one of the PC's, Dave, decided to do something that no only prevented the party from gaining an ally. He also, caused that potential ally to become an additional enemy. How does this Dave guy not get any blame for what happened? From what I see, it's Dave's fault that the party got wiped. I can understand that Bob is mad for losing his character. In the end, all he lost was his equipment. Equipment can be replaced. If anything, they can go on lower level adventures until he gets enough equipment back. It's not like he will never get any more equipment ever again. Also, how is he not upset at Dave? Is he expecting that the PC can do anything they want with no repercussions? Best to have a talk with Dave and ask what his expectations are with regard to bad decisions by the party. I thought that Dave's attacking that NPC was a bad decision considering one PC was trying to use diplomacy. That's akin to making a lot of noise while another PC is trying to sneak around. Dave sabotaged the party and specifically another PC. Ask him what he thought of Dave's actions and the actions of the warlord. My impression is that Dave is in it for XP and treasure at least in this adventure. He seemed to be all gung ho about slaughtering anyone for XP and treasure. What if you told him he would have gotten as much XP and treasure if they worked with Jelia? I would contend that they would have gotten more XP and treasure working with Jelia than against since obviously the party failed, got some killed and lost treasure and wealth doing a resurrection. If anything, if he wanted more XP and wealth, he should have worked with Jelia. [/QUOTE]
