[QUOTE="Dragonwriter, post: 5569769, member: 54988"] A matter of opinion, of course. Allowing the hounds to eat the remains could also be seen as offering a reward to them (they didn't have to accept, and are greater than animal intelligence, so they did have the choice). And getting rid of the remains with acid was more of a preventative measure - we have evidence they use undead. Can't make undead without a corpse. Drastic probably, but also forward-thinking. It also prevents their return, short of a True Resurrection/Wish. That sounds fairly accurate... With the addendum of "shall be treated as deserving until proven otherwise". An example: even though he didn't care for Haddin personally, he still offered the man protection and fought to avenge him (specifically sending the Summon to get the goblin who shot Haddin). Yeah, alignments are one of the things capable of really sparking fights. Sometimes I wonder if the game would be better off without them... :erm: Too often, they are looked at as black-and-white, when they rarely are. But I'm pretty open and open-minded when it comes to debate, particularly about such a vague thing as alignment. Now if Barrik were a Paladin, his treatment of the dead could possibly be a violation of Paladin conduct... Thankfully, he's not a Paladin. ;) [/QUOTE]
