Seems like a really old topic, but it's the first time I've seen it. I was sort of curious to what the subject matter and after reading it, read through the replies because I was wondering if there was anyone who would have volunteered to play the villain side.
I think it's very rare that the bad guys ever win in movies or roleplay, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to try or that the consequences have to be directly impact or long long lasting. Though in general, probably the reason is there just aren't as many bad characters as there are good. I'm still trying to kick my but to RP, but I know at least when I do, I'll try to be stick to an evil aligned character.
I'm sure the boat has sailed on this plot/experiment, but it's fun to ponder what else could be done from the slavers side to drive some interesting plots. If there were at least some slavers (PC or NPC), I could possibly imagine Phayte being hired and disguising herself as an escaped slave fleeing to the sanctuary. From there, she could be feeding false information to its members about being part of a larger group that was being transported. That could open some interesting interactions where maybe a band of members try to go for a rescue but get ambushed. The intent wouldn't have to be to like murder anyone, but a morale blow to the anti-slavery efforts.
