The ringleaders and enforcers will be interrogated, but then what? Would you execute them? What about the rest of the prisoners, would the Syndicate troops be executed for treason? You could technically execute every single one of your prisoners for banditry as it is punishable with death in Alterac as is treason, but would that be a smart choice? Then there was the fact that not all bandits here had joined the Syndicate willingly, but due to fear.
“Prince Alric, I spoke with Captain Garside earlier and he said that if we were to escort all of our wounded and prisoners to Tarren Mill, we would require all of our troops to do it safely. Alternatively we could leave the prisoners here in the camp under guard and come back to retrieve them after we have dealt with our wounded.” Lieutenant Cromwell said to you.
Well that complicates things somewhat. It would be somewhat foolish to drag the men that you were going to execute in any case to Tarren Mill, so killing them here was what you planned to do. Everyone else could wait for later for you to decide what you would do with them.
Syndicate Prisoners:
24 of which 4 are leaders
>Allow everyone to live, throw them into jail.>Execute the ringleaders, allow the rank and file to live.>Execute them all, members of the Syndicate have committed treason against Alterac.Bandit Prisoners:
67 of which 11 are leaders
>Allow everyone to live, throw them into jail.>Execute the ringleaders, allow the rank and file to live.>Execute them all, banditry is punishable with death in Alterac.QM: The decision of whether you will leave the prisoners under guard to the camp will come later after I know how many of them are still alive after these choices. The vote for what to do with Otto Wanz comes later too.
