the woman says I should kill him...should I? Is she the good guy or what?

He's a bad dude, go get him! (teeny spoiler)......

But you don't have to kill him. He'll surrender so if you're feeling virtuous you can let him go [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, depends if you are an evil or good character, you don't have to kill him to do the quest, so up to you [img]smile.gif[/img]

I guess it's up to you to decide if being miserly is a crime worthy of capital punishment. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You can either kill him, let him go, or make him give you the tooth and then let him go. You can also 'ask' him for some money. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've killed him with good characters. He kept part of a cure that will save thousands of lives. That seems pretty evil to me. If you're lawful, I would let him live.

One time I really did kill him by accident. He surrendered just as I was letting loose a magic missile spell, and down he went...

I killed him as well, with my neutral good priest.
AndyG got a point, sides that, if you bring the silver tooth to the woman, she'll offer you a reward, you can turn it down and get some reputation points with it (I'm called benefactor ;) :D )

Yes, but! If you don't kill him he has a chance to redeem himself. My chaotic good ranger worked on the premise that his near death experience with Julilla the Mighty would scare him into becoming a prize citizen in the future. And if not, I could always come and finish him off later ;) . And I did loot his whole house so that would set back any further evil plans he might have. Plus that Formosa was a shrew. Couldn't have her get it all her own way :D

thanx

One final note

if you read his jounal, you see that he initially 'regrets' having to hurt the dryad in order to get the cure - later he's unable to hurt or release her do to her enchantment.

My LN fighter let him live - but took the key to the storehouse.
