[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8949365, member: 29398"] "Seriously" had rather little to do with it; at the time we were all too busy laughing at how one crazy unexpected thing just kept leading to another. But yes, PvP is very much allowed in my games as long as it stays in character, and this is how it manifested this time. One of the PCs had been a slaver in her pre-adventuring days. While the party was rounding up some prisoners after a battle she came out with her now-legendary quote "Stop taking prisoners and start taking inventory!", and from there things spiralled down a rabbit hole of chaos as on reaching town two PCs tried to disrupt the rest of them selling these guys. End result: I don't think the prisoners ever did get sold (alerted by the two renegade PCs, the local authorities intervened; slaving was technically illegal in that town even if the authorities often turned a well-bribed blind eye to it) but those two PCs ended up tied up in a hotel room, and a note was slipped to the local slavers to let them know where they could get a few freebies. The players - including those of the two now-slaves - were all cool with this; in fact, this whole episode was entirely player-driven, with me-as-DM pretty much stuck in "react mode" throughout. That was all 14-ish years ago; we still laugh about the story today, and a few of the characters involved are still active. [/QUOTE]
