And not just the wealthy 1%. That means the dead peasant that a traveling cleric raised out of pure kindness. Every paladin that stumbled briefly in their fight against the darkness. The child that died of disease or malnutrition, but got a second chance due to the kindness of an adventurer. They all suffer and die even worse than before.Are those lives worth it to destroy the likes of Szass Tam? When you throw in the creation of a new evil god (and look at the chaos and disruption that occurred as a result of Cyric’s ascendancy), this starts to look awfully like an evil act.All that being said, if this was my group, my job would be to make things interesting if that’s what they wanted to do. They’d have to defend the Soulmonger from adventurers and liches alike. A part might break down, and they’d need to hurry to find a replacement. But I wouldn’t let them off the hook for the consequences of their actions. They’d see the innocents dying as a result of their actions, their souls ripped apart. And the new evil god that rises, well, maybe that’s the final boss battle of the campaign.</blockquote>
