When a carefully crafted and beloved PC dies exploring a murky fetid swamp, spelunkering, or sacrificing himself to save his companions then okay, that makes for good storytelling. Being poisoned by a dagger in the market was even acceptable. The attacker had to roll to hit and the PC failed two saves he had a 50/50 chance to make, a big fuss was made by the people both in the market and in the building he was entering at the time, that made for a good story too. Cut down in his sleep because of a night of terrible dice rolls with no one to witness, with one die roll at less than 50% chance of success to allow him to live... I'm not okay with that.Would I have been justified? The overwhelming response on this thread says yes, but would it have made the game more "fun" for everyone involved? No. I don't have a reputation for saving PC's at hazardous moments and this one mercy isn't going to endager me in that regard either.  Thank you for pointing that out Sniffles, I didn't feel I was being soft either.After the whole trial that dominated the evening, and their confrontations with Papas Calindrino, it wasn't a tremendous leap of faith to see him behind the Assassin's dagger. The city watch is certainly going to be investigating it, and the Calindrino name and money is going to sheild him from any fallout. The party leader explained to me later that he had assumed the Captian of the Hyperion would have the gaurd doubled... such assumptions are poorly made. I leave decisions like that to the PC's.</blockquote>
