Message: <blockquote data-quote="boxstop7" data-source="post: 472877" data-attributes="member: 8804">In our current campaign, I had a ranger/sorcerer who tried to escape an entrapment situation by throwing a fallen foe into the flaming barricade the enemy has set up at the mouth of the cave in which my party and I were trapped.  My intent was to smash or knock the barricade over, giving us a route out.  The DM (and indeed the rest of the party) thought I was simply throwing the body onto the fire.  I was knocked unconcsious in the fight, and when I awoke our cleric said that he could no longer offer me healing until I atoned for my actions.  The monk in the party wouldn't talk to my character any longer.  I was growing dissatisfied with the situation, and I was rapidly becoming the outsider (the group left me behind to heal from injuries while they went on a quest given by our captors).  Our DM sensed this, and once we escaped, he offered me a way out:  one night on watch, my character spotted movement in the brush.  My ranger was approached by a gold dragon in disguise who offered to send me home to my family and friends, and the party would never know what happened, only that I was safe and they need not worry.  Moral of the story:  try to come up with some way to amicably resolve their discontent.  Prior to being sent home, I had begun trying to kill off my character.  The DM knew something was wrong.  If you want to keep your players happy, there is a way to do it.  Just look for a game or plot device that would allow them a quick out.  Maybe they get an offer from a wealthy merchant to escort his goods across the sea, for a quick (and crappy) example.  But try to keep the players happy.  If everyone's happy, the game will roll along much, much better.~ Box</blockquote>
