To their surprise, they encountered the monster that had recently given birth to a "litter" (I suppose, for lack of a better term) of young.To the party's surprise, the monster began "dealing" with the party to let it go or, at least, let its young go (they were [barely] old enough to make it on their own. It offered them its modest treasure, agreed to whatever terms the party put forth...anything to get the party to let its progeny live.The party was at a moral crossroads and much debate occurred, in and out of character, as to what the "right" thing to do was.Alignment breakdown of the party: 2 Lawful Goods (the paladin and cleric), True Neutral druid, True Neutral dwarf thief, a Neutral Good and a Chaotic Good, (with LG and NG NPC's in tow).What would you say the "right" thing to do/course of action would be?I won't present the eventual party decision (just yet) as it would be a spoiler for my Story Hour. But I thought it was an interesting situation to put forth and see what the great philosophical minds of ENworld would have done (as a PC) in that kind of situation.Does it matter that it is a "monster" as opposed to an "evil humanoid"? Does it matter that the creature(s) actually Detect as "Evil"? Should the younglings detect as evil? What do y'all think?--Steel Dragons</blockquote>
