What more do you need!"Each session I tried to make the goblins and ratmen more and more evil so there wouldn't be this constant argument about leaving the ratmen alone.  Drug and poison smuggling, slavery, kidnapping: he had a answer for everything!  I couldn't believe that he walked out instead of rescuing a young boy being offered as a sacrifice to a giant spider!Oh well.  He might make a good NPC one day.  Reading this again, I realize  that you guys did a pretty good job in avoiding slaughtering the goblins out of hand.  Morally, you guys acted better than Fergus did!  I should have given you more xps for avoiding the combat.</blockquote>
