OK So the the Paladin in the group did not want to return the Bat Idol to an evil creature, so the party attacked and defeated the Aspect of Zotzilaha after a few close calls. They they take all the treasure so I hit them with the curse. The Paladins rationality is that he is freeing the people of the Aspects hold over them. When they get back to the village, how do you think this will play out. How would the Zombie Master and Chieftan react if the Paladin tells them that they destroyed the Aspect (since I am not sure the villagers would know of thought the Aspect to be a god). I am trying to figure out the course of action. It could go either favorably or badly for the party in terms of gains the Olman tribes help in defending Farshore from the Crimson Fleet.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
