Message: <blockquote data-quote="Harmon" data-source="post: 2860354" data-attributes="member: 24357">Paladin- “my friends, we joined together to battle, and destroy evil, and in killing Malock, the Dark Paladin we have done that.  Now his sword- a bane to humans and dwarves, and a sword of darkness that harm those of good must be destroyed, would you fault me for doing that?”Party Member #1- “nah, you can destroy all the evil you want, but that sword is worth a tens of thousands of gold.”Party Member #2- “ya, we can’t pass up that amount of coinage.  We could use it to defeat even more evil-“Paladin- “while the new welder of this blade kills other humans and other dwarves- we could save countless lives by keeping this sword from the hands of evil.”Party Member #1- “then those people need to step up and pay us protection.”Party Member #2- “you know I see a lot of profitable areas to work in here.”Paladin, frustrated and angry- “I will take the sword to my church and they will give us a fair value for it, then I will part company from you my companions.”Party Member #1- “what would you consider fair value?”And the Paladin leaves the group.  As the adventurers move from town to town they notice that there are Paladins, Clerics, and Monks that watch them- all from their former companion’s church.  Some time later the group sells a Unholy dagger and finds themselves surrounded by the good church’s Paladins and the local Lord’s soldiers, they are arrested for “assisting evil,” and hung.I can see this happening easily, course with Players they would fight and more likes kill a few of the good guys, but a few alignment changes and some explaining that you do not see their actions as anything but greedy and assisting in evil which by default (my POV) makes them evil too.(If you help evil then you are the evil you help.)"The only thing that good men must do to allow evil to secceed is nothing."</blockquote>
