The NPC tells the noble or shop owner that he must to something distasteful (if a noble – let a lawbreaker off with a light sentence, or punish an innocent)(if a shop owner, under cut some new competition, taking a loss. or use some other unfair business practice – like refusing to sell a local resource to the competing shop).Step 3a have the NPC say or do something obnoxious to the PCs or the NPC that is humiliating.What will the PCs do?</blockquote>
