If that were the case, then they could also kill Farmer Jim in his sleep for insulting them. But your group has already worked that part out.Confronting them man-to-man seems to be the most "noble" way of doing things. But still, if the law of the land says no... then you can't lawfully go in and just destroy that slavery camp.This is a gritty one.  Do they know why the businessman keep slaves? What kind of slavery is it?  Indentured servants.  "From birth" slaves. Or have they broken laws, or been put into servitude due to debts?  The most peaceful way of doing things is probably just attempting to buy the slaves off. Obviously this would be seemingly impossible. At the end of the day... your party may have to admit that there are some evils they just cannot stop. If you kill the slavers and free the slaves... that's open terrorism against that nation. You risk causing a lot more trouble than good in the situation.Doing good things like freeing people is one thing, especially when it's only you who pays for the consequences, and your enemy. But you've entered their lands, and it's their laws. You shouldn't challenge just them unless you intend to challenge the entire country. And since your warriors are not in a position to make that decision... then maybe this isn't their fight.  Even if it is awful or disgusting.  Or, if they intend to live as vigilantes, maybe it is.</blockquote>
