Time for a little topic necromancy ...
Today i decided to try some pacifist approach ...
Since it was mentioned by Swen in PFH-3, i expected them to count on it when they were wriging reactions ... sadly i was wrong.

Both situation, where i knocked NPC out, instead of killing them (Kagha exposed as Shadow Druid, and Marina's brothers pacified) was dissapointment ... game in both cases concidered them dead.

//edit:
Im not quite sure, if that was intented or if that was simply a bug ...
But when i freed Halsin and returned to Groove, Kagha was there ... yet still hostile, and all druids joined with Halsin against her ... it was the funniest combat i ever seen!
Kagha alone vs 5 Druids + Halsin himself ... and it was like: Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > Miss > ... and in the corner, there was sleeping Bear.

Anyway, i knocked her out again ... and Halsin started his monologue about "you deserve exile" ... so i dare to presume it was just a bug.
