Sounds like they think they should be able to push everyone in the world around, even rulers, because they're The Heroes. I'm all for players having choice, and saying yes, and all that stuff - but the PCs still exist in a fictional world, and that world has to have a believable structure. One day, they might get to push Kings around - but they have to earn that. If they tried that in my game, I'd advise them that their character would be well aware that people don't talk to the King like that, and he won't take kindly to it. If they insist on doing so, that's up to them, but if they want to go throwing their weight around, they picked just about the worst place in the game-world to do it.Edit: I see you quit gaming with them - so I'm not sure from your post if you're approving of their playing style. In either case, I don't see why the GM playing King John is being an "ass" simply for having a ruler give (not at all onerous or disadvantageous) orders. If you're a low-level adventurer in a medieval world, you're subject to the ruler, like it or not.</blockquote>
