So he had a trial, they were sentenced, and hanged the next dawn, high point was when they heard the orc widow telling the orc child 'daddy isn't coming home'. It sunk in about then that they had committed murder. One character did Detect Evil on the baron and found nothing 'but he has to be evil! He's dealing with the orcs!' 'You didn't use Detect Evil on the orc, did you?'The baron and the orcs split the party's goods between them, and their bodies were left in gibbets as a warning to others.The PCs were a bit more careful after that.The Auld Grump, so if the guards catch him give him a fair trial, and have him executed.*EDIT* And for that matter, do the local authorities know that the BBEG is breaking the law? If not then they likely will treat this as murder....</blockquote>
