Let's think about this as extremely realistically as possible...

So the party's on a boat. Hardtack's going missing. The party's paladin of Ǿð̞ïńń gets an idea.

The paladin will sacrifice 100 (sacred numerology number of Ǿð̞ïńń) people to Ǿð̞ïńń by keelhauling (sacred execution method of Ǿð̞ïńń). They'll become Valkyrjia in Valhalla. Ǿð̞ïńń will like it so much that he'll reward the paladin with ID of the hardtack stealer in the paladin's dreams.

Would you allow it?
