[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 88661, member: 300"] This is an iffy issue because real-world laws fall apart when dealing with a realm in which life-restorying magics are available. But you can't deny the fact that the girl was killed by one of the party members, albeit accidentally. Imagine that the guilty party member is asked the following question: "Did an arrow from your bow kill Anne the farmgirl?" How will he respond? Well, if he responds truthfully, he will have to say "Yes!" "Yes, but...." won't be acceptable. "No" won't be acceptable either. Truth discerning magic will detect that the only truthful answer to this question is "Yes." And that's an admission of guilt. Extenuating circumstances will factor in when it's time for sentencing, but the guilt remains. The man's arrow killed the girl. That cannot be denied. [/QUOTE]
