[QUOTE="Imp, post: 4483048, member: 40094"] Sure, it's a "threat," though Miko was a high-level paladin/monk, which combo not only gave her saves out the yin-yang but allowed her to go nonlethal at little penalty anytime she wanted esp. against foes she outclassed; by some of the standards being applied to V's actions here, Miko's summary killing of the bandits here would have forfeited her paladinhood – since she was in no real danger (to the point of not even getting any xp from the fight, probably) she should have subdued the two and sought out the local authorities so that the law would be carried out. But she was in a hurry as well. Also, she was performing an act of awesome, as Nifft puts it. Generally in D&D adventuring situations, frontier justice applies. It's not much of a stretch to suppose that frontier justice would also apply in a community of refugees. That said, V's action was evil due to his callous thought process, though not evil enough to kick him out of neutral, and I'd imagine V, Durkon, & Elan are going to be splitting from Hinjo & company fairly soon because of it.
