Even better! Lawful Neutral and a Chaotic Neutral walk into a bar...You know at first I was intending on having Ellaria be on the ship as the second investor for the fleeing charter. She would know and not care about the Blood Mage but when Karine confronts and pretty much kills all the blood mage's guards. Ellaria would step in and pretend to throw her support for the blood mage but almost immediately plant her tomahawk in the mage's skull. She knew there would be a bounty on the blood mage and would take the opportunity to not only earn gold but also save herself from a fight against Karine.
You'd still kill the Blood mage when it's Karine's wish to do it. You're going to get a fight whether you like it or not.
