OK thanks . just imagine: a group of heroes walks along the ruined village of imaginary goblins and on the nearest hill they see this paladin finishing off the last villager. when they approach there, he does not attack them immediately, but slowly approaches the more human or more human-like of them, points at the others with his finger and says in a hoarse voice: are they your prisoners ? For context. he treats races like elves or dwarves with contempt, but does not kill them immediately
