[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1266472, member: 891"] I don't want to give too many details and essentially break the debate - because the discussion itself is very interesting. I myself am one of those people who doesn't find the descriptions of alignment in the DnD core books to be as solid, simple, and hard-fast as some people claim. Anyway, some situational notes: The other side of that door was a tavern that the rest of the PCs were in, along with several locals - many of them armed. The victim and the witnesses all had come from the other side of that just moments before. The PCs were new to the community - so while they know the relationship the victim had with the community now, they did not then. Nor did the PCs personally know anyone in the area - though one PC was in the process of entertaining a group of locals within and building a relationship there. An alarm could have been sounded without giving one's presence away. As for interference, the witnesses outnumbered the assailants by one via virtue of a wolf companion. They did not know either the victim nor the assailants though they had seen the victim inside the tavern and observed him due to their hatred of the victim's race - but without the two meeting. The witnesses were the PCs who saw the victim leave. There were two more PCs but they were pre-occupied - one in entertaining the sailors and the other in watching the other (we may have a stalking subplot developing between these two). None of the PCs in this group are of good alignment, only one is evil - and that was not one of the witnesses. One of the two who was inside is lawful. Unfortunately my stating this may end the Paladin portions of the discussion - which I found very interesting. [/QUOTE]
