[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 2021820, member: 12153"] Sorry for the triple post. I figure it's better than one 12 paragraph post. It has been addressed that killing the slavers in their sleep and waking them up to fight fairly are both, basically, murder. While I agree in principle, the point seemed to revolve around the idea that we were guaranteed to win. We're not. Not even close. We're playing under Ken Hood's 3.3 Grim and Gritty rules, which means that I have 17 HP, DR 5, and take wound penalties to attack rolls once I take damage. 40 slavers could easily wear even Melissa down, and Belle is in even more peril. Given that, it really seems like the best option is mass murder. Most of the slavers diserve it, it will allow us to free the slaves safely, it allows us to use the slaver's supplies for the slaves, and it keeps the slavers from ever harming anyone again. I have a chance to keep Belle safe, and maybe even turn her away from the road to hell (being determined to kill someone is one thing, doing it is another. I'm not sure she has the stomach for it.) Given the advice I've seen to this point, I'm still convinved that murder is the best option in the short term. If Belle survives, maybe I can get her to start an underground railroad. Even if I don't go on campaign to free slaves, I might be able to make a difference in the world through her. I dunno, am I being crazy? - Kemrain the Resigned Murderer. [/QUOTE]
