If an entire civilization is going to side with the evil empire, then there's no ethical dilemma in putting them all down by whatever means necessary. Maybe the party will find a way to release the Tarrasque, let it fight all of the peasants, and put it away when they're done with it. Complications mean you get creative; it doesn't mean you let the bad guys win.And no, poison is entirely worthless in 5E, because it either does meaningless HP damage or it offers a save, and PCs have significantly better-than-average access to Resurrection magic.</blockquote>
