[QUOTE="RandomUsernamehmimo71, post: 2016958, member: 9051"] I've got a problem in my game.. The PCs are coming up against an encounter in which they plan to murder up to 40 people in their sleep.. It's not a good act by any means, but I can't give them an alternative. The problem is, they came across Belle, a young girl who escaped from a Slaver's farm. She'd been beaten, and abused her whole time there, and obviously wants them all to die and rot in hell. There are up to 25 other slaves still there. Problem is, Slavery is Legal in this part of the world. That means that the PCs can't get the place shut down. Even if they freed all the slaves, the slavers there would just go and buy more slaves, and other people would suffer. They could try capturing the slavers and moving them to a part of the world where slavery IS illegial, but the government there couldn't try them, without risking a war. There are also several other "farms", where slavers gather, and none of them are going to be affected directly. The problem basically stems from the fact that Slavery is entirely legal, taxed, and government supported in one area, and not in another. The best solution the PCs have come up with is sneaking in, and killing all the slavers in their sleep. Not a very Good act. Or, if they wanted to be less effective, they could challenge the slavers, and let them wake up and fight fair.. But either way, the slavers are just business men. They're people that are doing something legal where they live, and don't want a fight. There are a number of businessmen, but also their families in this area. It's not an easy call what to do. As a GM, I wish I could offer the PCs a better solution. But I'm not coming up with much... I could really use some advice on other ways they can handle it. A few of my PCs frequent ENworld, so if either they have any thoughts, feel free. This isn't a secret disucssion. We all need help on this one. [/QUOTE]
