Personally, I'd go for healing the paladin. Why?

1. Concrete consequences. Leaving the people enslaved will make a difficult war somewhat more so. Letting the paladin die will mean setting loose a high level, extremely powerful vampire on the world as well as removing a powerful champion of good.

2. Drizzt will take care of the Obould problem. Duh . Okay, that's not valid character reasoning.

3. Personal value. We have no idea of the people being led in chain's character, although presumably the children are 'innocents' for whatever that's worth. The female knight has been a valiant person and will continue to be if the information we have is true (and we're not exactly expecting falsehood from Torm).


It's a tough choice, you're gonna regret what happens to the other instance. And hopefully these are theoretical, Torm's a god, and if the situations are real, and he can do one, then he can do both.
