No.

No they do not.

I will tell all ye fools who speak of adventuring kindnesses something. Something to shake your carefully constructed beliefs concerning callous adventurers to their very foundations.

They are not hatched of ether and water, but born as any of their future in-game victims are born. Of code and the Toad's Will, made with morals and emotions, thoughts and dislikes. Some tinkering, it is true, may be made at their creation. But nevertheless they emerge, clean, into an oft newly-generated world. Full of hope.

And then they are possessed by an immovable, implacable spirit. A creature of loathing and blood-lust. The adventurer has only one name for this entity; Armok, god of blood himself. I know it by another name. You, that greatest of monsters. You.

Did you know, you who reads this now as the New Prometheus, Frankenstein's Monster, Adam, read the works of Milton - did you know that when this moral creature is urged to hack and hew, he cries? Perhaps it is for his lost sentience, perhaps it is for the screams which he hears but which he is powerless to act upon. We can not know, for his voice is erased, and his only means of expression is in the tears which trickle, in a nigh-constant stream, from his eyes.

You list kindnesses, reader, friend.

But there is no kindness here.

oh yeah Adventurer's are just poor folks that are possessed by the player, that's true and the only real kindness you can give them is probably retiring them early.
but forcing some poor sod to build an orphanage is a kind deed paved through hellish processes.

But most Players aren't that kind.

But most Players aren't that kind.

Well, to maintain an orphanage you will need orphans...
You have to see the bigger picture.
