You guys are taking this well beyond the thread's intent. Should the kids be killable? That is the question.
My short answer is "Yes."
A slightly lengthier answer is "Yes, although any resultant repercussions will be lessened or absent if the juveniles are monsters."
By the way, I only added that extra commentary as opposition to two particular viewpoints ->
1.) Some folks objected to the killing because they - in essence - view goblins as funny looking humans
(with all the attendant consideration afforded to human beings).
2.) Other folks objected to the option because they're worried about
(uninformed and obdurate) spectators who will clamor for the game to fail.
