I'm about to describe a situation.. I would really like some feedback..
My flatmate holds once a week DnD (Dungeons and Dragons - RPG) sessions at my place (it is my place as it is in my name) in the sunroom (it is a room that used to be the balcony - the owners enclosed it with windows so now it is called a sunroom).
Due to being the Dungeon Master (the one who is 'in control' of the game)... he has alot of the rule and such books. None of them are his.. they belong to some of his fellow gamers.
Now.. he usually leaves them strewn throughout various parts of the house.. in his room.. in the living room.. or in the sunroom. This particular time they were left in the sunroom.
It was raining one night and I had accidentially left the windows to the sunroom open due to wanting the air to come thru the unit (without those windows open.. things can get stuffy and smelling in the unit). Now.. they weren't WIDE open.. I never leave them wide open.. just open enough for the rain to come in and wet those books.
Those books which HE had left in the sunroom.
Now.. my question is.. does the responsibility of replacing those books (as they are ruined) lie with him because his friends had left those books in HIS care (due to him using them.. I don't touch them.. I don't have anything to do with his RPG sessions) or with me due to leaving the windows in the sunroom open hence having the rain ruin them ???
I feel I am not the one responsible here.. I feel he is.. as his friends have left the books here under his care (due to him 'being in charge' of the games).. therefore he is the one who is to take responsiblity if anything happens to those books.. not me.
If I am in the wrong with this opinion.. tell me.. I am open to that.. he's told me that I owe him $$$ to replace those ruined books.. I havn't said anything back due to wanting to make sure I am "in the right" as such... ????
Am I in the right.. or is he.. or is the fault with the both of us ???
