You know of the Gray Cloaks? Group of constables on the take. More so than usual, that is. Extortionists, larcenists, roughnecks. Despicable crew. "We've been 'tithing' them for years and years.

We require more this week. Inflation, don'tchya know? And you're gonna give it to me, or I'll take it out of your hide. And your lady's..."What do you do? Should that be some kind of attack power, DCs are 16 AC/14 NAD. Failure here will result in physical violence (ie, a combat encounter).</blockquote>
