[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2029615, member: 99"] I concur with everything that S'mon and the Jester said. I'll add this: If it does come down to a fight, have the guards make as much of a show of "overwhelming force" as they're capable of. While the first guy (Captain of the Guard?) is negotiating with the PC's keep referring to how "and you see four more guardsman show up and fall into formation over here" every round or so. That way at least the PC's will get the picture that they are going to have to kill a LOT of these guys to make their escape. Also, have the guardsmen pick out one of the weaker PC's (maybe a Rogue or Wizard type) and rush him [i]en masse[/i]. Once they've grappled him to the ground, prevail upon the party's sense of brotherhood by instructing them that they'll kill the downed party member if the others don't lay aside their weapons. And I would also give them a gentle reminder that Lawful and Good PC's don't wantonly kill guardsmen who are just doing their jobs. [/QUOTE]
