[QUOTE="Chasmodai, post: 1209307, member: 12445"] Well, I didn't think this one up, but I suppose its worth noting. The party I was in was a motley crew of adventurers (LN fighter, NG rogue/bard, TN illusionist [yes, a gnome], NG druid and CN ranger [myself]). We were awoken in the middle of the night by sounds of horses hooves pounding, and something bellowing. My character, being elven, was on watch at the time and his keen elven eyes (I got lucky - rolled a 20 for Spot), managed to catch a glimpse of a very... unusual sight. A band of humans on horseback was chasing what looked to be an adolescent stone giant, firing at it, hounding it down. (It might be useful to note, right about now, that my character had Favored Enemy: Giants.) Therefore, he sat back down to watch the spectacle. Unfortunately, the rogue/bard (also the party leader), managed to see this going on. He realized that the humans were slavers and were attempting to capture this giant for slave labor. He called on the rest of the party and bade them charge forth to smite the slavers. My character could only gape in horror. (He is an elf from the Vesve Forest - one of those xenophobic types - and he hated Giants to the core.) So while the party rushed forth to kill the slavers, my character sat by the fire, looking depressed. I got flack for it later, though I roleplayed it as if the rest of the party were in the wrong. Made for some very nice tension for a while. Sweet. [/QUOTE]
