[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2765674, member: 22622"] I always say I"ve only had to boot 2 players and thats because they were making out during the game session. I have a very sympthaitic heart, so I always go on here to make sure and see what others would have thought and done in that situation given the same parameters. She seems to try, but she's like having Gilligan in your campaign. If it was just me baffled, I'd blow it off, but the whole party was kinda stunned. WE honestly took a brief break to figure this out. Even her husband told her, that doesnt seem wise honey. "her response " I want to see anyway. The Idea of the hell deminsion (and this is inspired from a recent dungeon magazine of an adventure in Maure Castle) is that there are deminsions that are "hells" where there is nothing but endless space. It's based off the theory of personal hells. The reason the thing was summoned in the place, was as the ultimate waste disposal system. If any of the creatures or magic got out of hand thats whereit got dumped. This was not designed as a save or die trap. It was very difficult to die from the trap if searched. It was designed to be deadly in that, its the final level of the dungeon and all bets are off. The party at this point knows to stay together and proceed cautiously. True, we are only 6 other people but we were all baffled by the situation given what happened. I find myself posting partly to see what others would have done and partly to ask the question of waht to do next. I am curious as to the next step is. Now that her and I have had a series of conversations, I am partially ok with her reasoning (she thought it was a good pentagram and that it was to protect her from the dragon. She did say that in hindsight she would have done those things but didn't think about it. She's written me back (our third conversation about the subject). And explains: . Eh, this is my fault though. I don't have the heart to boot a player I don't like if its not causing any other problem other than killing her own characters. She later goes on to say that she's having some problems with her daughter and her mind is not on the game. Even if this was total bull, I still cant bring myself to boot her. But I don't think I"m going to be rolling up a character with her anytime soon. My thoguht is to limit her choices, restrict her to only core classes from the phb. [/QUOTE]
