You can milk anything with nipples <| sep |> Are either of them not having fun ? Is anyone else not having fun as a result of the conflict yourself included ? If the answer to both of these questions is ' no ' then there is no problem here . If you don ' t know , communication is golden . Ask them . If the answer to either is ' yes ' then you have a problem . Probably the best solution is to just talk to each player individually , and figure out a solution that satisfies as many people as possible . You could also introduce something in the story that makes the EK indispensable , such as a magical bond that connects the warlock to the EK , so that if one dies , so does the other . that would certainly be an amusing situation ! Indeed , any big bad worth their salt that noticed the animosity between them would jump on the opportunity to curse them like that .
