[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 1049363, member: 990"] In yesterday's session, the players were investigating a plague of unnatural origin, trying to find the lair of the kobalds who had been attacking the village, and also looking for the miners who had not come back home for a month. They killed a bunch of kobalds, only to find, farther back in the lair, several infant kobalds who were delirious with plague. The party had just killed all the adult kobalds in that band, and had no way to cure the infants. The chaotic good rogue decided to put the kobaldlings out of their misery, but the cleric (a new convert) was totally against this action. She asked him, "so your god would rather that they lay here and slowly die of the plague? Or that they starve to death?" Then she slit the throats of the babies, as gently as she could. I ruled that this was not an evil act, because their deaths were inevitible, and she was actually showing mercy. The cleric's player isn't so sure he agrees. Now, this isn't a huge problem for us or anything. I mean, no one is angry or making a big deal of it. But I wanted to hear your take. [/QUOTE]
