[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6908549, member: 6788736"] Thats my whole point. Why didnt the law get involved? Do you reckon even in the Middle Ages you could just ride into a villiage or town, murder someone in a tavern in full view of its patrons, [I]and nothing happen as a consequence?[/I] What a terrible way of looking at things. The peasants and patrons should instantly react to the murder (possibly even confronting the PCs), [B]just like real people would[/B]. They might be too scared to directly confront a bunch of heavily armed mercenaries, but I would expect some crying out or wailing in shock and horror, some dudes to possibly confront the PCs out of a moral obligation, more to race outside in either fear, or to alert the authorities, or both (and get away from the murderer as fast as possible) and so forth. Who thinks like this? And what PCs are going to engage in mass murder to cover their tracks, by fireballing a bunch of scared goodly peasants and bar batrons? How is this even an option for anyone other than the vilest and most unhinged and CE PCs? Who does this exactly? No sane person. Its the equivalent of machine gunning down a bunch of patrons in a nighclub to cover your tracks after murdering someone. Its the sort of thing that (barring mass shootings, and even they have a series of complex psychological reasons behind them) simply doesnt happen. It's evil of the highest order, would be out of character for anyone barring someone who has consistently portrayed their PC as a totally unhinged and psychotic madman, and in any event would result in the PCs being hunted to the ends of the earth. How could you travel with someone who did this? The whole party would have to be unhinged psychotic CE madmen for them to even consider travelling together after this. How could you travel with (or trust) a person who has murdered dozens of innocent men, women and children to save your own skin? I mean [I]think [/I]about it. [/QUOTE]
