[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2296666, member: 6584"] Wow! That sounds really cool. And an interesting bunch of players - some great reactions to the campaign there. Anyway, I think her tests could make a great mechanism for changing her evil ways. The PCs have presented her with several new ideas... Perhaps turn them back against them and see how things pan out? Put them under pressure/tempt them and see how well their ideals hold up? I love moral quandries! :D [RAMBLING IDEAS] A good samaritan setup: My initial thought would be to use something she feels the PCs might not help. An unconcious orc - sure she can provide one of them! With a nice shiny toy. Will the PCs kill it? Steal the toy? Will they help it? How far will they go to help someone? One I had run against me by an evil DM: Pair of critters waiting by a roadside. In this case devils. With a small child. We questioned them and were not satisfied with their answers. So we killed them and rescued the child. Thus saddling us with a traumatised child to care for. We managed to get her talking a little and took her back to her home village. Turns out the village had sold the child to the devils to get protection from another threat. Cowardly child selling villagers were not people we wished to deal with... but could we leave them to get slaughtered? Ended up with a good few sessions of sidetracks. Was a complicated situation with no real right answers. Lots of fun. Sure she could engineer something similar... [/RAMBLING IDEAS] [/QUOTE]
