as someone with a possitive cha, you are actually near the front of the line on this one, so please don't bow out. Petra is going to crack down and make some direct offers in just a bit.
Also, there was a bit of posturing in the tavern, which makes me wonder if we ever got a tavern judge on board? I think there was a good moment for "joe" to step in and lay down a little law rather than letting things sit in that unhappy balance between letting players attack each other and players being asses because other players won't attack them. :\
