[QUOTE="Heathen72, post: 5426188, member: 7029"] It might be worth saying to the [I]player[/I] that having his character hold a knife against your character's neck is extremely offensive gaming etiquette, and indicate to him that if he does so again that you won't continue to game with him. I really object to intra party conflict of this sort, particularly where (as indicated above) it is unexpected - it can actually be very upsetting to go through.
