[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7581255, member: 6801845"] It kind of depends on what kind of game you wan to run. Can the PCs get away with whatever they want or are there consequences, even if they are character ending consequences? There is no right or wrong answer to that, it depends on what kind of game you want. If you want the true-to-the-world answer then sometimes the PCs will lose. They get stripped of all their gear, have iron masks. Possibly executed if they continue in their ways. I've taken that approach in the past and had a PC executed by the authorities. If I go with this approach (PCs are not invulnerable) it's something I discuss in a session 0. It's kind of a preference because if there are high level PCs in the world, there are high level NPCs some of whom enforce the law. The other option is to give them an out. There are a few possibilities [LIST] [*]The church makes them a deal. Do this mission that's probably tantamount to suicide but if they survive they'll be set free. They'll have to submit to a geas or similar of course. [*]A previously unknown party intervenes and helps them with a prison break. Perhaps a faction of the church, or maybe other followers of the banned god? [*]Something disastrous happens and in the chaos they can escape. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
