[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3308780, member: 9037"] Just because they do the above does not make them evil, first of all if stealing is evil then no more rogues who grew up on the streets and joined the thieves guild can be good. Pleanty of human cultures have slavery so I guess then all humans should line up to be killed by paladins. Adventuers go into forgotten temples , old dungeons and slaughter creatures and then plunder because that is what looting is plunder so I guess they should be next on the paladin's list of things to do. I believe Miko fell hard for one major reason amd that is she let her anger take over. She was not alone in the wilderness, she had the chance to arrest Shojo and if she thought they could not trust the law of Azure City she could have brought him in from a tribunal made up of her fellow Sapphire Guard. As for Shojo not dectecting evil there are items that can hide your alignment so that is not always viable and sure fire way. So saying that it is wrong for a paladin to slay someone who is not dectecting evil is wrong. Miko heard with her own ears that Shojo had lied, broken the laws of his city, interfered with justice. She had just prayed to her gods asking for guidence and the next thing that happens is she hears Shojo confession. Just because he does not detect as evil does not make him less guilty of all the above and that makes him a traitor. A traitor whom she believes will not have a fair trial because she believes that the system is now corrupt. I do not believe she was totally wrong in delivering justice. I do believe however that she had alternatives open to her so that she did not need to deliver such a hasty sentence and that is why I feel she is in the wrong. [/QUOTE]
