[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4141027, member: 9037"] There are so many ways this party of supposed good people could have handled this. One way is to go to the King and ask him to make the decision. Travel with the father and the baby back to the King. The reason I don't think this falls under a good act is because of how they did it. If the guy left them no choice but to fight then they should of after they killed him taken his body and the children to the King's court. And explained what had happened. But they went about things hopfullly to hide what they have done. If they end up going after the pesant who saw them and kill him then there intent is not a noble one to protect the baby. The paladin is no paladin he is murderous thug killing a witness for the sole purpose of protecting himself from the consquences of his actions. The mother did not want this man to have the children but did she warn the PCs that the man was evil and the children would be in danger from him? For all we know the mother was mad at Vincent and wanted to punish him. There is a big difference in protecting a baby from an evil cultist father who intends on killing the child in his god's name and a dead mother not wanting her babies raised by a man she may not have liked. If I plaed in that game I would have gathered more information on why the mother didn't want him to know about the babies. And I disagree that you have to answer the PCs questions. It really depends who the NPC is I would think that a person who is the law of the land and speaks for the king would feel no obligation to answer some non official PCs questions. his status should be enough to protect him and if it is not then his death won't go unpunished by the law.
