D&D ethics question:

Setting aside how likely the plan is to work, is it reasonable for a Druid to refuse to conjure prey animals to distract hungry crocodiles (crocodiles who the party had promised to bring food to earlier)?

Asking for an extremely loose party.

Note that what actually transpired was clown shoes beyond belief, but this is what started the whole argument.

To close the loop, here’s what happened. @MatthewLNass (Druid) refused to conjure animals to distract the crocs, so @GabySpartz (wizard) created an illusion that looked and smelled like frogs for the crocs to chase. However, @trippdup thought that was deceptive...

...and used speak with animals to inform the crocs. Gaby then used sleep to knock one out, but @wrapter, who wanted to fight them all along, fired off some Eldritch Blasts at the awake one (as warlocks do). Both @trippdup and @MatthewLNass tried to stay out of the fight, but...

A giant croc emerging forced @trippdup into action, and he shrugged and went to town. @MatthewLNass held firm and would only heal, taking no offensive actions. Net result is that crocs all died (save the sleeper), @Good_Game_ almost died, and the party spent 45 min on ethics.
