[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 809539, member: 707"] No it's not. For goodness' sake. Okay, let me try to lay it out without using any examples, since those seem to get me into trouble. Adventurers have control of a giant. If they reasonably believe that turning him over to guards will result in his death, then they are partially responsible for his death. Adventurers have control of a giant. If they believe that their actions [i]whatever they may be[/i] will directly result in the giant's death, then they are partially responsible for the giant's death. The fact that they are giving the giant to guards makes [i]no difference[/i], because we are dealing with the Good/Evil, moral axis. The fact that the law of the land says the guards are empowered to kill the giant makes [i]no difference[/i]. Legality is meaningless. Only morality. And if the adventurers know that what they do will mean the giant's death, then they have to share the blame for that death. [/QUOTE]
