Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamesonCourage" data-source="post: 5462074" data-attributes="member: 6668292">Actually, post number 5, written by the OP, addresses some of your questions. The OP wrote: "They were being arrested by a corrupt general whose feet they (metaphorically) spat on." Most players are not privy to plot hooks, though many can spot them. In a situation like the one outlined, the players probably assumed that either they were supposed to go to jail, or they were supposed to fight a corrupt general. As Good characters (supposedly), I'd bet they thought it was the latter option.However, this question was not answered by the OP, so everything I wrote is speculation. From the sounds of it, they are guilty of not respecting authority, which is enough for most nations to legally lock you up in a gritty fantasy world. In many campaigns, creatures do not even get trials.However, the OP did indicate that the general that was having them arrested was corrupt, so the charges could easily be trumped up. Since the players actually killed the guards, I'm guessing that not only will the trumped up charges (if any) look accurate (why else would they kill to defend themselves?), but the new charges of murder, treason, etc. will all be honest charges against the players.Though, once again, your question wasn't already answered directly. I feel pretty safe speculating on it, personally.</blockquote>
