[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8353770, member: 762"] Not for lack of trying. This is flat wrong. If I sell a horse that I KNOW will kick without provocation and it does so - I'm likely liable. But this is more akin to selling a dog as one that's harmless and friendly to everyone when, in fact, the dog is known to bite lethally at any moment. This creatures attack will down/kill any "normal" NPC in one attack - it's a lethal weapon. Yes, the seller would be liable if he sold it without disclosing that it's lethal. So the seller screwed up and left a live grenade for a random person -and you're argument is "meh, they didn't REALLY do anything wrong!" The creature attempted to murder someone, you're reaction is "meh, it didn't succeed." Really, The Avowed of Candlekeep are concerned enough to offer a decent magic item to the group if they can track down the sellers - so obviously they are very interested in this issue. The Balder's Gate watch isn't said to care for the villains (one way or the other - the villains are not that connected). If legitimate authority from Candlekeep wants them (and frankly the Watch is likely to accept the PCs as legitimate with even moderate persuasion - considering the circumstances)? They'll certainly be fine with that as long as no Balder's Gate laws are broken. Death sentence, no, but that doesn't mean the Villains didn't do anything wrong! Frankly there actually is a REALLY easy solution here. Since no one has died and the PCs are ok with the no harm no foul route (they may not be), they can show the villains that these creatures would make amazing guard animals for the wealthy. Seriously, an animal that can look like any small object the noble wants AND will (with proper care) protect their property? They'll pay thousands, not hundreds per creature! [/QUOTE]
