So yesterday during pfs, the following situation occured.
In short, we were infiltrating a lawless town were the aspis society and pirates crime lords are the only established order. One of the goals was to help an pfs aligned achimist who had gone silent.
When we find him, we learn that a local aspis agent has poisoned the alchimist's son and has been giving only small portions of antidote to keep the child weak and the man in check. Naturally, we decide to help him out.
In the next section, we are immediately attacked by the aspis agent/crimelord upon entering her turf (sort of to be expected, we were rolling poorly on social checks thusfar and had been in a fight already). We still manage to win the fight and subdue her.
Then, things get a bit messy.
In short, the aspis agent is constantly mocking us. She refuses to tell us anything about the antidote despite rolls of into the 30's of diplomacy and intimidate. She also heavily implies she will kill the alchimist's family the moment she gets away and that we're not going to harm her anyway since that's not what pathfinders do to prisoners.
Eventually, we do find the antidote nearby.Now, a long argument starts on what to do with the aspis agent. We have no allies in the city who can lock her up. The gnome npc who stepped up to take over her establishment after her thugs were dead and she defeated suggested just killing her, but he couldn't offer any kind of nonlethal assistance. We cannot take her with us since we need to keep as low a profile as possible. We are level 3 to 7 and have no major magic in the party to wipe her memory or do something similarly useful. Tying and leaving the npc was implied to be equal to us willingly letting the nearby gnome npc kill her which would still be an evil act.
Througout all this, the dm keeps insisting that killing the agent is an act of blatant evil and threatens to change mine and our rogue's alignment to evil if he executes her (thus making that character illegal for pfs play). As the...
The woman POISONED A CHILD and only gave enough antidote to PROLONG HIS SUFFERING. She is EVIL. Killing her would not be an evil act and if your DM says it is he is either a liar or a moron. Either way he should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BE DM AGAIN.
