[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 5667804"] Get the "alignment of the town" out of your head. A heated encounter escalated to murder. The law does not care about alignments or even justice. The law is about keeping the peace. They will be hard on adventurers precisely because anything that gets "out of hand" can result in many townie deaths (that fireball may not kill the PCs or NPCs in a fight, but it will kill commoners with ease). If there is a mega dungeon nearby, more adventurers (and Gold!) will come. The PCs are replaceable economically. Besides, a Paladin that just closed a Gate to the Abyss is murdered by the one who opened it. That will make the Paly an instant martyr to that religion (we all know Paladin must have their deeds recorded and thus have a bard handy to spin the tale). There will be a horde of LGers flocking to this town to avenge the martyr. Basical rule - if the players are running evil PC, they gotta expect the DM to be a dick. Eventually, evil PCs will piss off the establishment of the area. From here on out, open your sessions playing the old Bad Boys theme from the COPS show and make the players wear "wife-beater" t-shirts (see 1min in). From this point, "Its On!"
