[QUOTE="rgard, post: 2553804, member: 4157"] Given what you wrote I'm not certain which would be the correct response. It all depends on the nature of the goblins and other evil creatures in the campaign. If the goblins are evil by their very nature and can never be anything but evil...then you did the wrong thing in that they would have grown up (barring the actions of the dwarf) and lived to kill good people. You may have promoted the common woe. Think of Tolkien orcs and goblins. If the goblins could be converted to good, then your actions were noble and you are to be commended by role playing the Paladin well. Think of Drizzt and his journey to the light (pun intended.) So, assuming the goblins could be converted to good, you could do some or all of the following (besides quitting the campaign): 1. Sell your point to the other players. If you want your way in this, you need to convince them to support you. 2. Find some good goblins and let them know what the dwarf did. 3. Go talk to the head cleric in your god's church. Metagame: if the DM agrees with you the NPC clerics may take action against the dwarf. 4. Wait and bide your time. If the dwarf is presented with another opportunity to kill goblin children tell him not too. If he continues to kill, you kill him. I hope that helps. Rich [/QUOTE]
