These bandits have:
1) Sacked and looted villages. There's no prize for guessing what happened to the inhabitants.
2) Killed the forces sent to defeat them before.
3) Used a dying man as a messenger, and another injured one as bait. Probably done this sort of thing before.
4) Tried to kill [i]us[/i].

Whilst there might be cause for a trial afterwards, [i]taking prisoners right now is the worst time to do it.[/i] Also, would it be just? Well... yes, in the perfectly legal sense; they're outlaws and we were tasked with dealing with them. Also why I don't think any of them are getting away with a slap on the wrist... or axe on the wrist.

And in the 'don't keep enemies at our back' one.

Marianne has a very strong sense of justice, almost naively so as you may see. Which is why there would be an argument until Fanilly diffused it with a direct order. Realistically, [b]I[/b] would agree with you on nearly all points. But I'm speaking in the terms of my character and how she would act and think. She is willing to give even the most heinous murderer a second chance at regaining their humanity and pardon their previous criminal acts. xD
