While I share your distaste (for brutality in general), the RP in question is a valid, realistic depiction of random acts of violence under a brutal takeover, the opposite of a friendly one. Battlemaster is a medieval simulator, and they called it the 'Dark Ages' for a reason. I'm actually really glad that the writer chose to explore this gritty view further. Dark as it was, it was practically 'nice' compared to other things that can be done in this game that were historically perpetrated both IG and IRL
