The NPCs were mutineers after all, the rest of the characters may not have had much choice.  For better or worse conflicts in D&D are often resolved with lethal violence.Have your character react as strongly to this as you do.  Tell the other characters they were out of line and that there should have been another way.  But if I were to do this the other players would have to be okay with it.In general I try to talk about this kind of stuff in a session 0  where you get together before the campaign starts and discuss campaign and preferences before creating characters.  So at this point, I disagree with some of the others, I do think it is in part the DM's responsibility to only introduce scenarios that everyone else is comfortable with.  In this case?  It's kind of a trolly car problem -  I don't think there is a particularly good or moral solution here.  You aren't comfortable with the executions (which would have likely been the answer historically), you couldn't have them charged and thrown in prison.  Letting them go isn't great either because of the revenge angle.  The question I would have for the DM is - is this the kind of thing that they will do again?  Is the rest of the group okay with it?  Some people are, some people aren't but it should be openly discussed.  If you can come up with some limits on this kind of thing, great.  If not?  That's where it's up to you as to whether or not you want to continue playing with this group.</blockquote>
