[QUOTE="AnthonyJ, post: 1200559, member: 13807"] Yes, 'accomplice after the fact' is a modern concept, but the whole formal legal structure is fairly modern. A medieval society would still punish you, they'd just describe the situation differently. So, in order: Fighting in the Arena: lack of respect for (father's) authority. Neutral(law/chaos). Unclear what sort of competition this is, but given the term 'deadly' in the description of the art, it sounds like he's killing people for money, which is Evil. The blackmail is interesting; many characters would simply ignore the threat of telling the father. He encounters a suspicious woman, who he recognizes as a member of a crime syndicate. Before finding out why she's there, he promises to keep it a secret. This is Stupid (which does not fit on the alignment chart), though how stupid depends on the law/chaos table, since a chaotic character would just lie. Having discovered that she's killed someone, he chooses to keep his agreement (Lawful, but mildly Evil, particularly since the character has no special pattern of Lawful behavior). In addition, he chooses to help her cover up the crime (moderately Evil) because if he does not do so, the inn will lose business (greed, also Evil). He then attempts to deceive law enforcement (Chaotic, and as he's protecting an Evil person, Evil) Pirate Treasure: not relevant to alignment. Break into the inspector's office to steal paperwork: Chaotic; as the character supposedly had actually paid for the licenses, it's Neutral (Good/Evil). Overall: Good/Evil: weakly Evil. Law/Chaos: little dedication to either side, and thus Neutral. [/QUOTE]
