If these players were playing a modern-age game with similar characters and had to go through boot camp, are they going to slay the drill sergeant because he yelled at them? Boo-hoo, they didn't like the inquisitor's attitude. I don't like the attitudes of some people I work with - does that give me the right to draw steel on them?I would also say that slaying a person answerable only to the king and without him doing anything outwardly evil (i.e., they caught him standing over the dead mother with a knife dripping blood...) - the PCs also committed an evil act. Assuming the players know that the inquisitor is a high ranking official, they should know that he is answerable only to the king.  Taking a life because you don't like somebody's attitude isn't really something in any paladin code that I've read, unless it's the Chaotic Evil Paladin of Slaughter.Just my 2 cents.</blockquote>
