[QUOTE="Rel, post: 3139663, member: 99"] In the above scenario, were I the player of the Paladin then I would hope that the DM would roll our Sense Motive rolls for us given the solution you propose. It would NEVER occur to me to attempt that roll independantly. If you've ever had a baby of your own then you will understand that they don't need a REASON to cry. They just need oxygen. In the absense of a successful Sense Motive (or if the DM didn't roll one for us) then my solution would be to hurry the rest of the party along as best we can to be out of the goblin lair before they can rouse themselves sufficiently to attack us. If they DID gather to attack us then my Paladin would tell them that he had no quarrel with them and was happy to leave them in peace. He would point out that our party had walked among them as they slept and had not raised a hand against any of them as proof of this. If they attacked me anyway then I'd kill any who did so. All of this presupposes that there is a good reason for not attacking the goblins in the first place. If they are known evildoers then my Paladin would feel obligated to bring about the cessation of these evildoings. It could be that the reason we're sneaking through their lair and that time is of the essence and that more important things require our attentions for the greater good. And that's fine too. But, since the goblins are awake and talking to me anyway, I'd tell them that they'd do best to stop whatever badness they'd been up to because I'd be back later to call them to account for whatever it was they'd done wrong.
