So at the moment my parties alignments are spread all over with the current issue being between a CG and LE(now NE).
Synopsis:
BBEG Half-Orc Warchief has sent his stronger minions and their minions after the party who are currently trying to depose him, they arrive at the tavern the party attacks and is attacked.
The LE is the most uncharismatic inquisitor who has a penchant for doing whatever it takes for his mission.
The CG is a rogue on a sudden and surprising mission to aid a god in stopping Orcus from destroying his home and the god. He's also a Caydenite and has actually met Cayden in celebration of his good deeds and is now actually arranging it so that all the slaves in this city will be freed by the next leader (a friendly npc). That said this happened:
Scenario:
During this fight a lot goes down and it is a tough fight but besides a few hp gone and 1 large Friendly Fire amount of damage the fight goes well. The Druid does lose her bear during the fight and is heartbroken but they kill that orc as he tries to escape.
During the fight though mid way through when things aren't looking good one orc surrenders and for 3 whole combat rounds does nothing in an attempt to surrender being on 1/30hp. He actually didn't manage to do any damage to anyone during the fight as well.
During the last round the LE character knowing the orc surrendered and wasn't giving any useful info in the moments he had to grovel was shot. The CG comes over and heals the orc stabilizing him and gets him to talk a bit more about who they are and why they attacked them. He gets a lot of info they didn't know but the LE comes over and says "Well if that's all he's got I'm going to just kill him."
To my surprise even though they're constantly at each other's throats about their beliefs the CG player agrees saying "You better give us something else or I can't see a reason to stop him." The orc starts crying and begging but is quickly and ruthlessly put down by the LE.
My Opinion:
Personally I think allowing that and not trying to even defend him or take him prisoner was an evil act and would probably be against his gods ideals. Should I arrange a punishment for this because so far the character has preached all sorts of stuff about why being good is the right thing... yet that happened.
Obviously it wouldn't be severe or anything but there are plenty of other actions that have built up but they were all small stupid things that didn't warrant any punishment but were worth noting. This however felt very evil and cruel.
Addendum
Yeah let me clarify something real quick. They were currently IN said Warchief's settlement, they were working against him to overthrow him and had a replacement they were working with.
The party is non-human with a Goblin(LN) and a half-orc(LN) as well. The LE Inquisitor is Duergar and the CG Rogue is Kitsune.
The people killed/they fought were members of the Warchief's military, the settlement was going to be taken over by a different Half-Orc.
The Tavern was also their base of operations as it were... I mean that's usually where it is in these types of games.
