[QUOTE="DDK, post: 606237, member: 6469"] I haven't read through the entire thread so if my comments are repeats, please forgive me. Firstly, I have to say, "Wow!" I thought it was an excellent plan and was obviously well roleplayed. I wish my players would engage in the game at that level, sigh. Secondly, the alignment issue is a difficult one, as always. On the one hand, it seems that he was more than fair. Most players wouldn't bother with such niggling details as guilt or innocence. He went to great effort to establish their guilt and meted out justice in a one-on-one combat. On the surface that looks fine; I would have no alignment issues with that. However, if one of them begged for mercy and tried to plead his case and the paladin ignored the cries for mercy and slaughtered him... well, then I would view that as evil. Since it doesn't sound like any of that was the case, I think the guy deserves kudos for coming up with a brialliant plan that was well executed (pun intended). It also sounds like everyone had fun in the session, so double points to him for engaging in the game at a greater level than simply, "What's there? I hack it!" [/QUOTE]
