[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3674759, member: 29014"] The Paladin will probably kill some of them and then return on the Contingency. Every day, each of those crusades will be killing fiends that, by your definition of fiends, are guaranteed to have been killing innocents, so even killing some of them each time is protecting more innocents than if the Paladin spends a day on some of the missions I've seen Paladins take. The imp's item might have been-- A) An item to be used against Demons in the Blood War B) A valuable item the imp promised to an Evil being who summoned it and made a Faustian pact. Perhaps it was a Lawful Evil fellow who sold his soul for medicine for his dying wife, who knows. Either way, it wouldn't have to threaten innocents. C) A valuable trinket the imp wanted to have to help garner status on the lower planes, perhaps a gift to a greater devil or just a status item in and of itself D) A valuable trinket the imp wanted to sell for money. None of those necessarily puts innocents at risk. Now, it could have been something that put innocents at risk, but that's possible even for non-evil beings. It doesn't hurt to find out before decapitating people. [/QUOTE]
