You wouldn't massacre them if they were cats or dogs...
That's because dogs aren't allowed in Baldur's Gate. Cats though...
Oh yes, yes I very much would. And I would enjoy it... a**holes acting superior! His Majesty, Steelclaw...*Dark Urge intensifies* Bash them! Kick them! Eat them alive! RIP THEM APART!I like rats though, they're nice and helpful

Have you tried knocking them out instead or do they just outright die?
