...in front of your enemy's child?

[HT_Black]

The funniest part about this is that by murdering the child's parent, I would most likely create a murderous barbarian with a grudge against me; and so the Conan cycle would begin anew.

Honestly, the only way to guarantee your own survival is to pop both the kid and his daddy dearest at the same time.

You bastard.

Actually I haven't, but from what little I've seen of it so far it seems interesting, thanks.

Child will follow after his father or will kill me later. I'll use two bullets and stomp on the target's face.

I shall quote from The Evil Overlord List. *Ahem*

"142. If I have children and subsequently grandchildren, I will keep my three-year-old granddaughter near me at all times. When the hero enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to her why it is necessary to kill her beloved grandpa. When the hero launches into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles. After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids."

I would cut the childs head off, and beat my enemy to death w/ said severed head.

 

[SilentVirus]

Kill them both. If you kill the father but not the son he will grow and kill you. personally I will kill them in this order:
1) Father
2) Son

 

[Beartrucci]

I've slaughtered hundreds of people on my way to kill this guy. I would have probably gone crazy with bloodlust at this stage, and end up killing the both of them in the most gory way possible.

ur first post instantly reminded me of this song.
personally id kill the enemy and just put his kid in an orphanage.

 

[Arashi500]

On a particularly nice day, I might knock the kid out before killing his dad, and maybe wipe his memory.

 

[coldshadow]

umm, lets see. leave, and kill him another time.

 

[molester jester]

Yes and the kid too.
1. I get rid of my enemy
2. I know the kid wont be around to hunt me down in his own epic quest for vengeance
It's not that I'm a bad guy, its just practical

 

[robb4rock6]

kill the kid while the enemy watched then a slow painful torture to his agonizing and blood soaked demise(Mwahahahaha im evil)

Scenario: You've been on a long journey to kill your enemy. If this was a book/movie the audience would be rooting for you to storm into the lair of your enemy and have an epic final showdown. and normally you would. You have your reasons to want this person dead, whatever reason it may be, they may be planning to destroy a city or they have murdered your whole village, or another "justifiable" reason to end this person's life.

However when you burst into where your enemy is, blood stained from all the minor threats in the way, with rock music blaring in the background, you notice your enemy sitting down... with their child. Under normal circumstances you would have engaged your enemy to a fight to the death (or just shoot them in the face) and settle matters, but how would this child affect your next actions? (if at all)

Edit: The child in this scenario is 12 years old.

someone was watching kill bill werent they?

no i wouldnt kill them

 

[Soushi]

I would tell my enemy that he does not deserve his happiness, but that my revenge isn;t worth the hatred i would spawn in his child, then leave.

 

[Chaos-Spider]

Kill my enemy, Raise the child as my own. Then kill the child.

*Manic laugh*

Then why not just kill the child then and there and save yourself the time and money of raising it? please say that you wern't planning on raising it as your own personal pleasure slave and then killing it when you had no more use for it.

Edit: How very big of you, but maaaaabye you could have spared the lives of at least a few of the guards on the way up to this point so you don't have something like 50 epic quests for vengance biting you in the butt at some point in the future? hopefully happening all at once to make the scene particularly funny regardless of gender.

I personally would aim sneak past all the guards and then knock out both father and child and then sell them into slavery or something so that they suffer a fate worse than death and cannot kill me in vengeance later.

 

[solidstatemind]

Go read Machiavelli's "the Prince":
His 12 year-old-son being present would actually make things easier for you: if you are going to eliminate rivals via physical force, you must also eliminate anyone who could possibly make them into a martyr, and thus a rallying point for your opposition-- including their children. That is what they mean when someone says "eliminate them, trunk, branch, root, and seed."

It actually makes me chuckle, because the vast vast VAST majority of people could not be ruthless enough to be a tyrant, as much as they might like to pretend to be misanthropic jerks.

Kill the guy, and send the kid to somewhere so i never see the bastard again.
