Helping is its own reward :3
The hapless paladin helps the man up to his feet, buys him food (-20 gold) and you send him off. He bids you farewell, and you see in his smile that he is lucky to have lived and he is happy that there are still kind people.
I wonder
where did that starfish get a rifle?
Let's ask the townspeople
and inspect the rifle
The townspeople tell you that he looted it from a dead person during the time of the orcish wars. the rifle is blessed, however, and he is capable of taking any man down due to it's angelic accuracy. Combined with his already blessed accuracy, he can kill 10 people within a minute.
Jell, is then interested by this. He wonders if he can surpass this man's skill.
