Anyone who will do something as stupid as kill at the request of a customer (Who, btw, did not even REQUEST the slave be killed), is not lawful. Neutral Evil at best, strongly recomend Chaotic Evil.Second, your SOCIETY doesn't seem LN either.To begin with, its a slave society. That's bad enough. It doesn't make it evil right off the bat (There have been a number of discussions of non-evil slave societies on this board in the past), but, IMO, it's already a mark against it.Next, and most damning, you have a society that doesn't condem the muder of a sentient human being (I'm assuming the society is human, insert elven/dwarven/etc as needed). Slave or not, it's still a sentient being that was murdered. Not put to sleep. Not executed (which would involve having a legal cause). Murdered. For no reason whatsoever. And lastly, you don't go into how the slaves come about... it's not enough to say a society has slaves... Where do the slaves come from? Is it a caste, born into society? Are they conquests of war? Are they indentured servants? Are they purchased from other cultures? What? Each of these has its own moral problems, some less than others... But the lesser ones have more strings attached. For example, a society that had indentured servitude would probably have restrictions or rights for said servants.</blockquote>
