Kill the King or prins or both?(SPOILER)

Post by XazaX »

What would you prefer? King Ixilthetocal or Prins Villynaty in Sahuagin City? Or them both? Help me decide. :)
:D It is good to be a newbie, it proves you're not a freak! :D

Well..

Last time through I killed them both, the king first. Either way can work, I believe, so flavor to taste.
I have given up all lesser evils as inadequate to my purpose.

It doesn't really matter. And, typically, there are no alignment changes no matter what you do.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

I killed the King for the Rebels, then killed the Prince for his loot. I believe you collect some piece of the Wave halberd off his body-?

You can pickpocket his loot just as easily.

I prefer to keep the Prince alive on the grounds that the Sahuagin will fight the Drow, which are a bigger threat to civilization. The extra experience you get from killing him and his henchmen is not worth the time and effort and doesn't represent a clear moral imperative, so I usually him live.

Incidentally, if you are playing a monk character, I believe it is advantageous to kill the prince and side with the king. The item you get as a reward is not obtainable any other way AFAIK.

Yes, it's for a pair of monk bracers that gives +4 to hand combat.

Oh, btw, I always kill both the king and the prince. Clean out the city since I am there, without repurcussions. :)
