What sad music came to your mind, everybody? Mad World for me.
"Not Going Home Anymore" from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".
Empathy isn't that strange at my table, at least among the players whose characters would act that way. In a recent mission, we were seizing a keep and took special care not to kill any of the soldiers inside (except for the commander, who totally had it coming) because it would have ruined our friendship with an NPC.
Given that this is based on 4E... Welcome to Paragon tier?
God I wish some of my group's players had empathy. To them all the npc's are just there to get killed, dispense all their belongings to the party (whether they like it or not) or exist to.....fulfill......desires I -seriously- cannot mention on here and wish that I'd never had to witness. Here's a hint 'honorable persuaded adultery' has been the tamest thing they've ever wanted to try.
Murder hobos would be preferable, they did/wanted to do things that would make Freddy Kruger pause and go "Dude, that's messed up." It got to the point that our party was probably a bigger threat to the people living in our world than Tiamat was. At least with Tiamat she'd either subjugate you or just vaporize you. I had to do mercy kills a few times just because I didn't want the party getting their hands on a villain. The one silver lining to this story is that the campaign is over and all the bad players died pathetic anti-climactic deaths. As for the confusion about the 'Honorable adultery' thing, to quote verbatum our glorious fighter... "She won't be married anymore if her husband is dead right?"
Then maybe it's time they had to deal with the repercussions of what they are doing. Cutting a swath of murder and destruction across the land is the sort of thing you need an Adventuring Party to deal with.
Maybe it's time your problem players meet the group of heroes that are hunting them?

Also if Tiamat hadn't killed them I was going to murder them for the sake of the future in their weakened states. I actually cleared it with the DM first and had his blessing. There was no way they were getting out of that final boss room alive. "Slaughter them."-DM
The benefits of playing online without a camera:
Nobody can see you smile.
Or if you have pants.

I play online too and I partially prefer video because I like to physically and expressivley demonstrate stuff because I'm not as good at describing with words lol
The pants thing is nice though...

Our dm gets us with with the old emotional choice a lot,
For example, recently we had to choose between saving some actually nice and fairly friendly, demi gods from being forcefully turned in minions of one of our enemies, or loot the mostly abandoned, but still full of super epic loot, city before it was destroyed by a rampageing giant monster.
We ended up saving the demi gods. Who ended up demanding the few items we did get since they were from their city.........
though we did not tell them about the scroll of “power word kill” that our rogue found. Hahaha

I DID IT. I FINALLY CAUGHT UP.
Newbiespud, I've been binging your comic for several weeks now (with a brief break to binge your dad's duck comic) and, let me tell you, it's HARD to binge quickly, because the comments are always so compelling that I wound up reading most of those as well. This makes for a weird situation in which I feel like I have been interacting with the regular commenters all this time, watching them come and go, even though I'm brand new to the comic in comparison and no one knows me yet at all.
You should be SO proud of your accomplishments here. The comic is brilliant, and the last arc was so interesting (and the boss fight arc so intense) that I could not put my phone down all morning. I am impressed .
And now, of course, I have to wait for the comic to update just like everyone else. XD

I was in your position once. Ahh the joy of anticipation!
Twilight: we're almost dead with half of us at negative hit points (is that a thing in fourth edition), why are you smiling?
GM: because that means I'm doing my job.
Somehow I missed that the scroll was still in front of Twilight in the last two panels, leaving me thinking "Why is Fluttershy's ass glowing?"
