[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 1312475, member: 10784"] Well, if you were there, you'd probably wonder why the DM didn't kill the campaign by having us all executed... ;=) We are playing in a human kingdom that is very xenophobic towards outsiders, especially demi-humans. And, we are all newcomers to this town, so we are outsiders to them. And, we have an elf among our group – elves are not allowed outside after dark in most of this nation and interracial ‘relations’ between elves and humans are punishable by death. I was a bit off in my original description due to my old memory, but to make a long story short, we were all together when our illustrious ranger decided to claim nobility the second time, in a very public area. The knight, who was a bit pompous, was offended and demanded an apology on behalf of his squire. The ranger then decided to back away from his claim of nobility and apologize, but he did it very poorly and ended up insulting the squire and the squire’s work ethic. The knight was obviously enraged, as was the squire. Our party fighter tried to step in and break it up, but could not think of a way to stop the madness (and neither could I…) other than to challenge the knight to a duel. Our fighter got initiative over the unarmored knight and whacked him in the head with a crit, rolling a natural 20. He then got near max damage and dropped the knight with that one shot. The squire, in a rage, leapt forward to avenge his master and stabbed at the ranger. The ranger attempted to disarm, but the ensuing AoO by the squire also resulted in a crit that dropped the first level ranger. Of course, since the ranger was drawing steel to disarm, but never got to swing, nobody knew of his intent. It just looked like he was drawing steel to the 70 or so witnesses. The town guard then came to break things up while my cleric was healing the two fallen men. As me cleric was a known companion of the ranger, as well as an elf, and also an outsider, he was thrown in jail with the rest of the group. My character, and a few other PCs, were released the next morning, as we had done nothing wrong other than keeping bad company. [/QUOTE]
