[QUOTE="Tharkon, post: 5527137, member: 6674292"] What would [I]detect evil[/I] say? This just makes the experience of the current game weigh more. This is also funded by the fact that they want to do what they normally can't do without retribution. People want most that which they can't have. In a game where people are so afraid of sorcery I would expect some good wizards helped form prisons with permanent anti-magic fields cast on them. Aside from that when bound and gagged even a sorcerer will need both Still Spell and Silent Spell to cast most spells (a few spells exist lacking somatic components). What I am also wondering is if there is any sign that the PCs drive behind this was indeed the prevention of further victims by the cult leader. Since there are multiple PCs I assume they talk with each other and discuss things. If there is an NPC amongst them you can directly or indirectly lead a conversation to reminisce what happened to the cult leaders, but if they really contemplated the reasoning behind killing any of these cult leaders while they were at that time harmless then I would assume they had a discussion about it with each other at that time. If a party of mainly good characters stand around an incapacitated opponent and one of them suddenly slices that opponent's throat without saying anything I'd think most would be surprised if not shocked.
