[QUOTE="RC Hagy, post: 1210191, member: 6164"] Voadam: Um, nope. It was an option not chosen though. Were the children responsible (which we now know they were) or were they possessed in which case they might have been saved? That was not something that was made apparent until ForceUser's post on page six. Numion: My main point from my first post - The weak should be given the [I]benefit[/I] of doubt, [I]not[/I] a free pass. As it turns out they were evil by choice, not possession. Therefore not really redeemable. Also, the paladin could have waited and consulted. Delay does not always mean die. We do not know if they were one round away from hitting the out of doors. His choice to attack right then and then not withdraw made it a dead end. Tsyr: Then why did their game bog down in discussion over to kill or subdue? There was dissagreement. Sounds like some were not sure if the children were responsible or some other force or whatever. So did the paladin see through something or not bother to look? As I have written before and will write again... time seemed to be against the paladin. [I]I[/I] say he could have subdued, waited or killed. He did what he thought was best with the time that seemed to be allowed. Hagy [/QUOTE]
