second from anything else. I do not see anyone will argues that.
Nobody did... but following your religion lies in part in following your ethos. It's why you bothered to choose one in the first place.
2) For Maran destruction fo evil has priority above anything else

against darkness
You fought the darkness, well done. But you have to expect the unexpected when travelling with the entropic/chaotics. Getting yourself into this situation is one something you could have thought about. Such as, turning off autoassist.
3) Beeng lawfull means to follow laws and believe that order

is good couse it protects innocents.
Aye, protecting the innocent. Much like myself at the point where you attacked me. My point is, you would think that you'd atleast aid in reporting Wollscheid for attacking me in the protection of the laws. Being lawful and all...
4) In no place laws are restricting anyone from groupping with

criminals or baron but restriction aid to them in terms

of escaping punishment
I would qualify refusing to report the crime, or even act as a witness to the crime by Wollscheid (ignoring yours mind you,) is considered escaping punishment. You turned your head from the crime because? You were grouped with them... bah. Kind of weak.
5) Give all above i do not see any reason why lawfull Maran

would not group with baron or anyone else to fight against darkness.
Again, grouping with them to fight the darkness, fine.... but take responsiblity for doing so and prepare to uphold your ideals. Again, autoassist off or when Wollscheid basicaly pronounced he would attack say, "hey now, I'm not up for killing cloud giants I've never met. Leave him be or leave me out of it."

Side comments a) you got all this arguments in game why did not you posted it ehre as well?

b) why you do not have problem with paladin arbiter killing lightwalkers?

or walking together with evil arbiters? or even with imperials when they

hunt criminals
I simply used this forum to ask other's opinions. I got your arguments, agreed. I was looking for other points of view. Which a few have been nice enough to share. Both mind you, in each of our favors. And it's been well discussed the acts of good and evil working together for the law. I've seen a few bitch sessions on that entire matter. Finally, light slaying light. For the most part, I've seen decent enough roleplaying where the arbiter takes some sort of remorse on himself. If they didn't, and did it long enough... it leads to changes.... Gray elves and such....
Ta ta for now..... enough of the essays for today
