Hello all.
I am the cleric in question. I have heard your plans. There will be a full systems test at the beginning of the next game, to work out any, uh, problems with the weaponry.
As the "leader" class, when the teifling requested permission to terminate the two captives, I, following my Neutral stance, did not object. (Note that this does not mean that I agreed. It only means that I did not disagree.) However, my character had nothing to do with the actual termination of the two subjects.
Certainly, as leader, there is some liability on my part, however I also feel that those that were objecting to having the two captives embrace sweet death (the paladin and the wizard who opted to have to two captives, er, for lack of a better word, placed into bondage) should have looked at the past history of the teifling and kept a better watch over the prisoners. As captors, there is a responsibility for the wellbeing of the captured (in accordance with the Geneva Convention, which I am quite sure all Good characters follow. Neutral characters can use psychological torture and water boarding for information gathering. Evil characters can use full out physical torture and limb removal, up to and including death for fun and enjoyment).
Additionally, it tends to be best to question captives when the situation is fresh on their mind, as with every day, troop positions, weapons emplacements, plans, and so forth can change, and the information gathered from the captives become useless. This is something that the paladin, as a defender, should have done. I am a medi, er, cleric. I consider myself a non-combatant.
The little problem of the two captives being unconscious and impossible to question certainly could have been remedied through the use of the provisions of the available HMO (the cleric [me]), or healing potions, except, no one asked me to do so, and I, as a Neutral character, did not explicitly offer my services.
So, only as the "leader" (and only on paper, the paladin tends to be the party in power [we follow his experienced lead] and the teifling being Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition), certainly I can take the blame for not taking a direct stance on the issue, however not being a Good character, I cannot say that my course of action was wrong.
