[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 1519322, member: 7451"] Well, on the one hand, I'm tempted to agree with the majority of the ENWorlders and let him hang (I'd recommend drawing and quartering, actually). But, on the other hand, I can see an arguement for letting him escape. The noble that wanted the fell deed done in the first place pulls some strings and gets him off on a technicality. A free man, Delzar now has to deal with the consequences of betraying his party. PC justice is even harsher sometimes than the law. Even if he doesn't get killed or kicked out by the party, then what? The party will have attracted the attention of those who want to avenge the whole mess. Maybe the allies of the dead noble hire bounty hunters to kill Delzar. Maybe the whole thing is important enough to draw the attention of demons wanting Delzar's soul, angels wanting to redeem or destroy him, and inevitables enforcing the laws of justice. Long story short, there are all sorts of things you could do if Delzar gets out. But all of the players should be OK with it (in other words, Delzar's betrayal was just in-game, and the fellow players aren't upset). Just be prepared to use it as a plot point if he does get free. Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
