An interesting developement in a PF game im running

[UATerran]

So the group is getting ready to start book 4 of the crimson throne path, and they decided to make up some lost gear (gogo random encounters of doom) and did a sidequest to get a book from a dead wizard. I enjoy throwing monsters at my party that i know the group can handle but makes it hard to do, so i decided for this instance to have a small orb that gates in a thanadaemon, who has the book they need. But they surprised me with what they did as a good aligned party...they negotiated and agreed that the daemon can have a +3 manual of bodily health that they found (again, yay for random encounter treasure) and a rod of wonder that the group oracle and healer was carrying. The player, however, was not there for that week and was away making potions. The daemon, of course being a daemon, took her wands, screaming bolts and weapon as well. Daemons are cool like that, ya know? This group is going to implode soon anyway, the characters are almost at their throats somehow, all the players know it and love it, and everyone's having fun. Would it be too much of a party killer to let the oracle also make a deal with the daemon after he took all her gear that the party made a deal with to give away in the first place? Btw, before the daemon fiasco, a good chunk of the party there was good aligned...not anymore. The oracle is CN, so it is in her alignment to want revenge, but what would you do?

Not sure if you have another healer in the group, but if there isn't as a player I'd start charging for each healing spell they wanted or any other spell that directly benefited them, i.e. buff spells. And the prices would conviently be exactly the cost of each of the pieces of gear they took from me.

As a GM I 1) probably wouldn't have let this happen because the actual PC was gone so how did they have access to his/her gear. Also just a d^%& thing to do. 2)would have informed the PCs that making a deal with an evil entity isn't a good thing and it could change their alignments accordingly. And encourage them to fight the thing. 3) Wonder why as Good PCs they even thought of making a deal with something blatantly evil.

Hah I'd make the party have to deal with other demonic forces to get their healing and power if that want to continue and defeat that pesky daemon ;)

[Cheapy]

As a DM, I wouldn't allow others to gamble away someone's stuff.

How exactly did they take the Oracle's stuff if the oracle was away making potions?

[BigNorseWolf]

WHAP. Bad DM, no doughnut. You do not allow the PLAYERS to hurt the other players in abstentia.

[TheLoneCleric]

Ya seriously. When a PC is away doing this kinda stuff is trollish.

It's bad enough you didn't penalize the players for going against alignment with a good reason, but this is the kinda stuff that kills games.

Reminds me of my lvl 8 3.5 game where I killed it by being a bonehead and dropping a Intelligent Evil Psionic weapon in a game to temp the party. Party Psion (being N) basically did a Cartman on the party and ran off with a item that helped the story move forward.
