Message: <blockquote data-quote="sword-dancer" data-source="post: 184924" data-attributes="member: 1491">Hello SHARKI´ve once encountered such a situation in WFRP, 2 trollslayers were a bit rude in the open, and so the watch searched them.Knowing how dangerous Trollslayers are the watch cornered them in full force, trying to hack their way free they killed one watchmember.The trollslayers had a short & fair trial with predertimend judgement.And then they had an date with the axe.Cities and towns.Would this rabble of foreigners be allowed to bring their weapons and magic stuff in the walls?Not necessarly, in the MA definitely not, not even the standard they could stay in town overnight.If the thread is large enough the guard would be backed up by the guilds and temples.And yes this means the guards of patricians, merchants and the magic users in town.Attack of guards of a city or man at arms of an noble, Magistrate or noble would be acting against the authority of the king(maybe even the divine law).This is rebellion and treason. If you killed the person, would only made the crime greater(nobele, magistrate‘) or the comrades more eager to catch you.Self defense or defense of others would only be applicabele if the persons misused their power, thats treason in itself.Evin if the PCs to powerful for the local force?The reeinforcements of the guilds (city/towns), the local noble would call help from his fellows and liegelords.Fighting orders of the churches, knights Paladins, Champions of the local High lord, the sword of the duke/count etc.Sir Iwain would you please bring this bandits dowenBounty hunters, unlanded knights(hoping for an fief) .Avengers to hunt the murders of friends and relatives.The next citie would welcome then with an hail of arrows, bolts, spells etc.But remember law and order isn´t and wasn´t always in our societies, and the merchants came whatsoever.,Look at the dark ages in europe.But merchants IMC are no weaklings nor fools.A travelling(adventuring)  merchant who leads an caravan of waggons, must be able to lead his men and waggons, hold discipline.Negotiate with cities and nobles.And he and his retinue must also be able to defend themselves and their goods.Foreign goods under such circumstances would be exoensive and scarce.And the merchants would have their privileges.</blockquote>
