So, last night we had a nice session by playing one of WotC's modules, and the party was resting from their first raid to the "main dungeon" or so we think, of the adventure. Anyway, we had rested on a raided by drow small town, with a leftovers of population of at most 50 (including 5 guards).
My party was composed of a Paladin, a Rogue (ninja/gunslinger), a Bard, and a Fighter, all on a NG/LG alignment. Things go as follows:
Two sessions ago, our party lost a fight against a mounted drow, the terrain was unfavourable, but we certainly asked for it, as we just had fought a Vrock, and didn't rest after that, we just healed HP. Our party bard died for a lot of circumstances, and the fighter didn't go on that session, so we had to retreat. I (the paladin), tried to resurrect the bard, but I had no luck on such task. Our friend told us he would take the role of an arcane caster, and come up with a concept next session, we were "cool", so he did. But our rogue character (ninja/gunslinger), had other plans. My character couldn't really do that much to investigate, as she (as my character) was worried about the death of our friend. We gave him a burrial (along with all his equipment), and I need to talk a bit about our rogue friend. See, this guy loves playing Chaotic Evil, and he loves playing that alignment (slaughter, rape, unnecesary bloodshed, etc), and this is the first time he plays a "good" character, so he used the bard's death as an excuse to become twisted and evil, so she started (she as his character) to murder at town. Firstly, he desecrated our fallen comrade's tomb to retrieve the equipment to sell it, and so he did; with that money, he bought a ring of mind shielding, to conceal its alignment (as I like to prepare Detect Lies/Violence/Chaos as paladin spells, and have detect evil). And then proceeded to kill the city's priest and his girlfriend, then she killed a guard. Our party was concerned about the serial murder, and we thought those would be drow, until we captured a drow alive, but he told us he hadn't anything to do with such acts, the priests wasn't elf, so they have nothing to do with that, which was true; only elves were being murdered or abducted by drow. To make it short, our rogue friend killed a total of seven people at the city, including four out of five guards of the town, a gravedigger, the priest, and its girlfriend. We figured out (which wasn't hard at all, there wasn't anyone anywhere close using firearms) that our friend had been the culprit after we found the bodies, so when she was asleep after her final murder at the barracks, I manacled her, and forced her into the prison.
In the end, the sentence of senseless murder was death, I asked if there wasn't any other way, like to move her to a bigger prison, but our fighter friend (this is now happening on yesterday's session) reminded me that she has skills to get out of prison and the like, as she is an expert disabling and opening locks. The guard told us that because of the drow riders, and other bandits, it is impossible to move her to another prison, such as Greyhawk's (which is the biggest city and closest city). So my final request was to excecute her myself, as I felt it was my responsibility that she had killed those people, and I should've known before to stop her on her tracks. I was granted my request, and he followed me. His character went nuts and told us that they deserved that, because how could they be happy and our bard friend just died, and they didn't deserve to be happy. Our DM told us that it was a valid point to swich from CG to CE, I still think that's odd, but who am I to start lawyering against the DM. So that afternoon, Vanessa Towers, on tears, smited a vile murderer.
After that, my paladin gave her sword to the guard, so she wouldn't become as vile as her friend, and decided to stay and protect the townsfolk, as they had only one guard, and they cannot move or request for help without consequences. Note to say that the weapon is a special weapon made with the rules for a Holy Avenger (from a 3rd party source), that my character was attached to, but she still thinks that's correct. She would leave the party, and assist them if something was needed from her.
I would come up with a new character next session.
Is that a reason for falling? Our party had been together from years (backstory wise), did I overreact my alignment? It is the first time I play a paladin, so I acted on the Good First, Lawful after, following what's correct and the place's rules and their proccedures. Would I fall for this?
