[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 430966, member: 79"] Well, let's see...from Websters Assassination, transitive verb 1: to injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously 2: to murder by sudden or secret attack usually for impersonal reasons Since 'defeat the evil Necromancer' is rather vague, I'd have to say it would not qualify as an assassination just based on information given. If they sneak into his stronghold, spread lethal contact poison over his favorite staff, and sneak away and wait to hear news of his death, then it's assassination. If they march up to the front gate and challenge him then kill him, or if they capture him to return him to home for justice, or simply destroy the "Great Carbuncle" all his plans relied upon and the Necromancer escapes, then he's defeated but not slain by treacherous means, and thus it's not an assassination.
