Verily.  The remainder of the Lotus Dragons hate us and have staged several attacks.  Also, due to our 'somewhat neutral, but mostly evil' status, there have been a couple of misguided paladins whom have tried to "end our reign of tyrrany over the common folk of Sasserine" or some such nonsense.  We know they're working for the greater good, so we just subdue them and make mockeries of them in public.Does it endanger those around them?  Considering that everyone around my character is another 5th level adventurer, I don't think we have too much to worry about from the general populace, that is until we start the next module in the Adventure Path.Do they get invited to participate in things (balls, tournaments, affairs of state) that they wouldn't otherwise?  Of course, heck, we were guests of honor for two of them.  I believe we're just short of getting a seat on the Dawn Council.Do people want to associate with them?  Not really, we're seen as a necessary evil, realistically.  I mean, we're trained murderers, who just happen to only kill the bad guys.  We have no illusions about being the "good guys", we're just more focused.Does it give them more leeway with the authorities?  So long as everyone we kill is a wanted criminal, Sasserine's garrisons tend to give us a wide berth.  I think it's less of a mutual respect thing, and more of a "they'd kill quite a lot of our guards before we could take them out with sheer numbers, so we'll let 'em get away with it for now" kinda thing.-TRRW</blockquote>
