(Maybe these can be a few things to give DMs adventure ideas.)As for the Greyhawk NPCs, I think that since the Flanaess is a busy place with a lot of people, they would still be busy with a bunch of things even if they were all of good alignment.  Remember, not all problems can be solved by blasting it. In some cases, tackling a problem head on can be counterproductive.</blockquote>
