[QUOTE="shadyizok, post: 5521434, member: 81286"] I'dd say it depends on circumstances. If the PC's are in friendly country then they find a town with guards/a prison and dump em. If the PC's are in enemy country then finding a prison won't work so they have to either let em loose or take em with. Which brings us to the question why are the PC''s there? If they are just goofing off, take em with you to friendly country and dump em. If they are on an important mission it would probably fail to take em a long. So the only option is releasing or executing. How does te general public view the army of this country? Are they asses? Leave em in the hands of villagers. Can the mission make it if the captives talk? No? Execution or bound and gagged are the only option. (they could send a message to the enemy army''s local commanding officer where the captives are. Should only take a few days. They could well survive. For an example that a friend of mine once did in a similar situation: my friend was playing a knight (lawfull neutral) and he gave the prisoners a choice: quick execution or a chance for freedom. If one of them could defeat him in single combat they were free to go. The prisoners would be provided with their own weapon and armour and then be swiftly dispatched by the knight. [/QUOTE]
