[QUOTE="SigmaX0, post: 4858064, member: 83346"] Just to define my terms, i'm saying if it was evil, it would be lawful evil or neutral evil, as opposed to chaotic evil. Only by virtue of the fact that it was a calculated and selfish act, but not a random one. To elaborate: I agree accepting the task in the first place was not a 'good' act. However, if we had not intervened, the town would have received NONE of the shipment. We ensured it got half by risking our own necks killing goblins. Further, the guy who ordered the shipment was a murdering rapist. Just to put it in perspective, we hated him. I see this as a mitigating factor. As far as i'm concerned, plotting to kill goblins is not an evil act. We had no intention of murdering any of the men from the outset. From my point of view, we were offering the teamster a pretty good deal. Had we not been there, he would be dead already, and all his shipment stolen. We saved his life, took a little payment and asked him to keep schtum about it (from a certain perspective) Murdering him, ok you got me. But the point is, I think a lot of people in the same situation would have done a similar thing. The guy left us with the choice of: prison (a fair trial being out of the question) or murder him. The DM deliberately put us up **** creek without a paddle or a raft. [/QUOTE]
