[QUOTE="Whisper72, post: 1562595, member: 17339"] Hmmm... first off, I think this kind of attitude / roleplaying behavior is distasteful and immature on a personal / player level as well, but that is just IMO. To solve this in a roleplaying fashion, I would definately have her be rescued. By an elven patrol from her father's court if this is logical (depends upon where the PC's are now compared to the elven court in question), or otherwise the shining paladin idea put forth by Ironmani is a very good one. Make sure that the rescuing party is so obviously overpowering that should the PC's try to resort to armed violence, all of them get killed in the process. Otherwise, play it such that the PC's are left alone, i.e. not immediately brought in for justice. As a reason, have the elf girl be so disgusted by the PC's that she does not want to travel with them, nor see them in the elven court. She will henceforth make sure that is becomes known what the PC's (yes, ALL of them are guilty, standing around and doing only 'a little' is no excuse) have done, and make sure they are never again welcome into the elven courts. Every elf from that nation they meet will instantly be hostile the moment they find out who they are, and several elven warriors may set out to try to kill them. Have the elf girl turn into a hateful wench, who starts scheming behind the scenes against the PC's from the safety of the elf court. Assassination attempts, killing of family / clan members of the barbarian and the PC's. Have news reach the PC's that the homestead of the barbarian tribe has been razed to the ground and everyone slaughtered by orcs. Have people wonder how it could be that orcs somehow managed to get there and get away (possibly with prisoners / slaves, among which members of the barbarian's family) while in such close proximity to elven forces who somehow did not lift a finger to stop them... I could go on, but you get the gist. They have managed to piss of an entire nation. They are in for a world of hurt way beyond the personal level. The elf girl would not stop until everything the PC's ever thought was valuable (in the emotional sense) has been taken away from them or destroyed, and finally, the PC's themselves would find their doom unless they flee far, far away, to a galaxy long long ago (or something like that...)
