Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perun" data-source="post: 3893444" data-attributes="member: 6037">Well, your PCs are theguests in the town, and you're clearly not showing much respect to your hosts.Your PCs are mercenaries -- you get paid (hospitality in the town) for a service (destroy the vampire nest). The town has been reduced to a sanctified keep by vampires. The militiamen are paranoid. And then a human-shaped could appears among them. If they've been fighting vampires they surely know about their ability to turn into mist.Then you bully a NPC who wasn't very friendly to begin with. You demand respect, and yet you show none (after all, he is a leader of the militiamen). You're a visiting self-proclaimed lord from the fringe of civilisation, and you're publicly humiliating a leader in his own courtyard, so to speak.In my book, that's not very noble, considerate, good or lordly. I'm not saying it's Evil, but it certainly won't make you any friends. I'd say your DM is right.Of course, this is just the feeling I get from reading your post.I've seen similar behaviour a few times, and IME, it is a "meta-game" thing. The PCs get to mid- or highish-levels. The NPCs at that levels are clearly inferior to them. The players start acting as if their PCs owned the world, because the King is just a 5th-level Aristocrat, and the Guildmaster of a local Thieves' Guild is merely a 9th-level Expert, and the vast majority of their underlings are 1st-level commoners, which clearly present no threat to the PCs.</blockquote>
