[QUOTE="Bonedagger, post: 451711, member: 2564"] It was an example. Yes. Good and evil are concrete forces. But so is lawful and chaos. In D&D these forces oppose each other just as good and evil as you described above. In D&D not following laws does not make you evil. They may as you said have lied to get what they wanted but lying is not evil in D&D either. I don't see anything that say that the girls death wasn't an accident. (Punnishment should follow though). They had her tied up but at some time they trusted the girl enough to remove her "mouthpiece". That would indicate that they wanted to communicate with her or cared for her wellbeing. Something that wasn't needed. Without more info I don't see why this could not be a "conflict" between law and chaos instead good and evil. BTW. Characters are not omniscient. It's about beeing good or evil to the best of your knowledge. Trying to save what you think is a sick dying creature by using your normal means only to find out that your normal means had a bad effect on the being and caused it's death does not make you evil.
