If (When) you see that it will fail, rid the world of the evil (said characters).

06-07-05, 09:53 AM You can't turn them good if they're dead.

Also, to have the ability to cure someone of an affliction (poison, disease, whatever), but instead stand there and watch them die is a very evil act. Cruel even.

06-07-05, 10:19 AM They are your party members; therefore, you do not normally abandon them at a critical time...
Consider their actions. Have their actions been evil? Are the benefitting the cause of good?

If they're helping you on missions or events that promote good, then save them without a second thought. They are aiding the cause of good, regardless of alignment! If not, continue....

If they're committing evil acts, and you know this will get worse as they become more powerful, I can understand why you might not want to save them-
Consider what they expect of you as a fellow party member, and what you expect of yourself.

If the answer is that you would expect them to save you in the same situation, or that you expect they would want you to save them, you should probably save them regardless of your hesitation.

06-07-05, 10:23 AM Bow your head in prayer and mumble but make the words "bind these two to honor their word" then place your hands on their head and heart and ask them if they will forsake their evil ways and let Helm guide them.

If they answer yes, cure them.

If they say no, don't answer in time, say "Then, May Helm guide these fallen commrads to their just reward."

If they answer yes you could let them think that they HAVE to remain good and lawful or risk the wraith of Helm
