There's the possibility of other resolutions with the creeper. Could they employ him/her/it? Are there any rehabilitation programs run by Good organizations that attempt to talk/coerce/brainwash Evil creatures into changing alignment? Are there Helms of Opposite Alignment available for rental? Could they threaten its loved ones? Could they realistically threaten to kill its allies/packmates/gangmates one at a time if he/she/it tattled on them? Could they convincingly pretend to cast a spell and then tell the creeper that they've cast a marking spell on him/her/it that allows them to find it anytime, anyplace so they can track him/her/it down and kill him/her/it if it he/she/it tattles on them? Or the same as the previous, but pretending to use a (fake) magic item for the (fake) marking spell effect?

Or they could kill it. Killing's easier.
