This whole discussion is wrong. Jeff, you do a great job GMing! Whether or not our cleric remembered that we were to capture and return this evil person is immaterial. Conditions were already set in motion that would prevent this from happening. First, PC1 was confused and attacked PC2 with her most powerful attack reducing PC2 to negative HP and unconsciousness. Second, PC1 was out of action due to the confusion, leaving only two PCs and an animal companion left. The "evil Cleric" then channeled negative energy which injured the entire Party and inadvertently coup de graced PC2. No PCs were aware "with in game knowledge" that PC2 was now dead. As far as the Party Cleric knew, PC2 was down, but not necessarily dead, the "Evil Cleric" and his two minions continued to press the attack. The "Evil Cleric" could again, at any time, channel negative energy, so the Party Cleric commanded his dominated companion to kill the "Evil Cleric". It is sad that he could not be captured, but when put in context, there was no way to capture him without vulnerable PCs possibly being put at further risk. Jeff, I have no problem with how things turned out, and after all, I was the PC who died, and I lost more than a simple "Prestige Point".
