Message: <blockquote data-quote="herald" data-source="post: 1124238" data-attributes="member: 1112">At this point I would state that there is not enough information to make the case for any alignment. There's not enough information to tell us anything here. Were you raiding the stronghold for personal gain or where you on quest for a higher good. Indiana Jones retrieved items for a reason other than greed, and fighting Nazis on the way was reasonable. Granted this might not be the case at all, but I state it to show that there could be more than one side to your issue. If the information that the prisoner had would be used to protect yourself and your minions or protect the public I would not consider that an evil act. But it might not be a good act either. It does seem to lean towards lawful. Why are they trying to get to your party member? All in all, still makes me feel your Lawful, but missing details on your reasoning. I think the insult thing is a bit of a red herring. If the slight is one that diminished your public image, and therefore your power, I could possibly see it as a reason to attack them (not entirely a justifable in modern times, but this is a medieval world I assume.) All in all, the insult thing seems to be a character flaw more than anything else.  Destroying all Ghouls... could be argued that they were already dead. Yea I know that's to easy. But lets take this into account. These were an enemy that was trying to acquire intelligence. If you where at war with an enemy that was for all intents "Immortal" how could you let them get away. They may have figured out something even if the prisoner didn't talk. They may use that information against you or someone else. Justified IMHO. But not good nor evil. Closer to Lawful than anything else.Destoying all Drow. Where all the Drow combatants? Did this Drow have clear and consistant wish to Kidnap and torture to dead one of your Party members. It sounds like a good old fashion fued to me. At best this is a grey issue. And since the Drow can hold a grudge a very long time, I doubt that it could be said that that was an evil act. Unless there were Drow innocents. Did you slaughter children or commoners? That could put a different spin on it. And I presume that there would have to be some tight controls on the streets. If the Undead can feed on the citizenry, things are going to get out of hand.But some undead don't need to feed on people. Ghosts, Liches and the like don't have those constraints. You could have something like "Ghostwalk" planned. But if your are going to have a corrupt government, and have undead feeding on the citizenry or the governments prisioners. They you are a Despot, and your evil. Even if you keep the streets clean and everything run on time. So to recap.You haven't told us enough to justify anything.At best I can tell, you're Lawful Neutral.In the end, you might be sliding into Lawful Evil.</blockquote>
