| All I can say is:
IF YOU CAN NOT "ROLE PLAY" DON'T PLAY ROLEPLAYING GAMES.
It's perfectly OK to suspect thief PC for stealing the ring (he is a thief after all) and not trusting him when he said he didn't do it, you may even cast Discern Lies (Clr4/Pal3) spell before questioning him - but demanding a strip search because you "saw the note" is bad playing.
Math on ring or XP: who said that this thief didn't recive another offer on the ring from another NPC - giving the ring to him would complete the quest and grant XP.
I'm allways amazed how people asume that a good alligned party will work together. Everyone forget the other aspect of allighnment Law vs. Chaos. A conflict between Lawful alligned and Chaoticly alligned character can (and if properly played will) be at least as big as the one between Good and Evil one.
So unless all PC's are of the same allighnemt there should be some internal conflict within the group (otherwise someone is roleplaying badly). |
