I was on a DM quest, where my party got a bunch of evil points for rushing a fugitive to disrupt his ritual, causing his hostages to explode. The DM in charge whacked all our party with the Alignment Stick, including two of us who were dead and couldn't have intervened. My bard/cleric got busted from NG to TN and can't cast divine spells any more.
Now, is that supposed to happen, or should we not get the points for something we couldn't have attempted to stop?
Also, what is the best way to accumlulate some "good" points or even "chaotic" points to re-align myself? The quests never seem to give them, so is it only at the behest of a DM?
