[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 4858552, member: 27897"] Except that it would seem your logical construct doesn't allow for the concept of "unaligned." Someone who is unaligned will potentially use a situation for his own benefit. If he knows that there's a riot going on, he'll go out and try to get himself a new widescreen out of a broken store window. If he sees someone drop a wallet 5 steps in front of him, he'll take it and empty it rather than returning it. An unaligned individual may not go out of his way to help someone else. If he knows of a planned robbery or murder, that doesn't effect him, then he's likely to let what happens, happen. If there's a reward for the capture of the criminal, it's a relative who is the target, or he thinks that he might be the next on the list, then he'd report it. You're adding the concept of breaking the "law" into "evil", which clearly from the descriptive text does not apply. Or they could have done the expedient thing in order to protect their own freedom, which was to kill the person who threatened it, because they didn't want to put themselves out by having to deal with the burden of a prisoner. An unaligned person will generally take the path of least resistance, whereas a good or evil person won't necessarily. If they had killed the teamster out of hand or tortured him in order to obtain his compliance, then their actions would undoubtedly be evil to me. That they offered an option other than death first is the break point to me. [/QUOTE]
