Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jacob" data-source="post: 5387692" data-attributes="member: 98644">Those two thought I was out to kill their characters, even though I pointed out they accepted the Quest without question. The one who freaked insists I retroactively applied the Quest because of what he was doing in the game, which of course isn't true. To this day he still thinks this, no matter what I say.There was also the issue of appropriating funds to complete the quest, even though the bully was using the funds to fund a black hole he would never be able to fill (really, don't ask what that is, as it's incredibly inappropriate for the forum). I realized this, but he didn't, and therefore...here we are. Shame, because if he stuck around, his plans would have been a cash cow in the long run, and then they could complete the quest. But again...Perhaps I should have let it run it's course, and show him that it was a black hole? From there, instead of reviving the 30 people (of whom were backers of the theater he wanted to fund), he would try to find other backers, and eventually discover the only people who would fund his project are the ones he's on a quest to revive? But that's hindsight I suppose, and again, I still made the call. I knew the circumstances of what was happening in the world, and because I don't lay everything out on the table, they drew a conclusion that I was being a jerk. Because that's what DMs do I suppose? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/worried.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":-S" title="Uhm    :-S" data-shortname=":-S" />I've given up on trying to explain myself to them, and just accept the entire PC party was more willing to accept I was trying to railroad them than to actually sit down for a moment and take responsibility for their own actions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
