[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 1179118, member: 1225"] I think I disagree. If you try to kill someone, are captured, tied up, interrogated, and then released, going berserk and attacking the people who already kicked your ass twice, with you unarmed & they fully armed, is just plain stupid. I don't see why there was any reason for the fighter to expect the dwarf to turn out to be insane. IMO, suicidal attacks over an item that isn't something like the One Ring is insane; a sane dwarf who really really liked his crossbow would nod, thank the fighter for his reasonableness, leave, find some pals, get some more gear, and scheme to get his weapon back. The dwarf is the one that [i]chose[/i] to ignore the guy that untied him, go downstairs, and attack a bunch of armed people. The only way I'd call the fighter's actions Eee-vil would be if he somehow compelled the dwarf to fight a completely unfair duel. Seems like it was all on the dwarf, though. PS: As for the aristocrat giving the guy the coup de grace -- whether or not it was evil, it certainly seems like it was dumb. It could certainly be interpreted as murder by local authorities, and it was done rather publically. The aristocrat may just have earned himself some legal troubles. [/QUOTE]
