I answer it. No problem. I then go get dressed.Woman with apartment across the parking lot calls police and complains I'm running around my apartment naked and she can see.Police show up, verify that the curtains aren't new, and go to issue her a $50 peeping tom ticket.She refuses to open the door. Ok, that adds a charge as well - it raises it to an arrest offense.They eventually get the manager to open the door, go in, and find drugs on the table. (Her table wouldn't have been visible if she'd simply said, "Be right out" and come out into the hall to take the ticket...)So now, they're in her apartment, and find her drugs. And her kids. And she doesn't give up - she tries to push them out. Now we have felony resisting arrest, felony child endangerment, felony drug possession.So, the local cops call the DEA and the Division of Family and Youth Services. They come take her kids away. She assaults the case-worker who arrived, while she's in handcuffs. Another felony assault charge.I'm told she plead to the resisting arrest and felony endangerment, got 5 years. I knew the police supervisor; he had to be at her custody hearing; the state severed her parental rights. She was also convicted on the misdemeanor peeping tom, time served.[/sblock]Most players will accept an NPC accompanying them. Some won't. IMNSHO: For them that won't, there's the door.But the GM playing King John is in Ass-mode, too. And I know not a few people (whom I quit gaming with in the 90's) whose reaction to that would be, "Go ahead and try. You're hiring me because I'm more capable than your guard."</blockquote>
