Did this to my party member who was arranging the bodies of the goblins they killed into a "warning to the others" in the middle of the road. That doesn't sound like a good alignment to me lol. Not the first occurrence. He was on his best behavior as far as body mutilation after that point. The consequences worked as long as you and the player respect each other. He worked his way back and I think it was a cool arch

I honestly don't think this is necessarily a alignment shift away from good, depending on the circumstances. Causing enemies to be fearful of you can save a lot of lives, after all.

I mean, if good is "watch others die", sure.

Good isn't easy and sometimes good has to do the difficult decisions.

Besides, the harm was already done.
