There was a bridge battle at a Penn lite and our side was overrun and almost all of our men killed. Random Wronghand, a spear fighter of some note had lost one arm. He picked up a mace off the field and killed all of the guys on the other side with it. Maybe eight guys. And they didn't offer him sin...

Baron Eirik wrote:A helpless opponent is not struck.

So ... my view: If he's pinwheeling his arms and trying not to fall, no, don't hit him. If he's still blocking and/or swinging, sure.


Well Ok then. I guess I did wrong. I gotta apologise.

I get your point and I have certainly kicked guys out of the gang, at least in part, because they were a danger to our (my) reputation.

But public acts of remorse are meaningless if the sins continue.
