I also see people ignoring the "expectant pause", the opportunity for the PC to volunteer. Further, I see people not connecting the vision that says "GO TO THESE PLACES" with the chance to do something there. Sure, the PC is Lawful Neutral. That does not mean "can take no initiative". Sure, he obeys orders like a dutiful Helmite; but that also means he should be eager for the chance to rescue/defend fellow Helmites because that's his job as a Divine Champion.</blockquote>
