It doesn't even matter whether we are applying medieval morals, modern morals, or something in-between. The involved characters' alignment is largely irrelevant as well. There is really no dilemma at all. The Tarrasque is an extremely dangerous animal, which has already caused widespread death and destruction, and which cannot be reliably contained. Medieval people would kill it. Modern people would kill it. Honorable people would kill it. Barbarians would kill it. Good people would kill it. Evil people would kill it. You've got to be nuts not to kill it if you have the occasion to do so with little risk. Would you let yourself die of some plague out of respect for the bacteria's life?</p></blockquote><p></p>
