I’m not TRYING to harm the king, I’m just giving the sword to him. Violently.
I’M not harming him, the sword is!
I didn’t TRY to harm the king, his skull just happened to break open when I used him as a weapon to hit this giant stone engraving!
I didn’t harm him, I just gave him a rat that happened to have several diseases!
Etc.
Sadly, there are too many semantics to reasonably account for when making a game like this. :(
well the door puzzle doesn’t have the “don’t attempt to harm the king” curse in play, so I think it’s fine that you can use him as a battering ram. I do wish you could beat the robed man to death with the inscription though. It looks heavy enough to hurt/kill him, and we don’t have a contract forced on us yet, so nothing’s stopping us. I found out you can try with the sword before you officially “take” it, but the curse still denies you from harming the king with it, and then it drops on the ground. You’d think hitting him with the stone tablet would’ve been accounted for, considering the game prevents you from attacking with the sword before you take it, but I guess it just slipped the dev’s mind. The simplest fix would probably just be either make it immovable until you get the sword (like the other weird objects), or to just make Dalion just say “Why?”, because there’s like no reason for him to harm the man at that point.
