Demanding respect and deference rather than commanding it is one of those differences.A lot depends on info we don't know and (which is usually the case) probably hasn't been thought out by the GM. How are lords treated in whatever kingdom you're in? Is it death for a low born to strike or backtalk a 'lord'? Who was in command of the keep when the other lords were gone?As to the priestess, it depends on what place she and her cult/religion has in the kingdom heirarchy and how respected the clergy are. It's unlikely that strange priests can give orders to the military and expect to be obeyed, but again it depends on the social dynamic the GM has set up. I've been in settings where it was death to backtalk clerics of certain religions because they held a great deal of power in the kingdom. In other settings, the archers would have laughed her out of the courtyard for presuming to give them orders counter to the defense of their keep.Honestly, it sounds a lot like an 11th level PC getting pissed off because a mere NPC had the temerity to question him. That being one of your hallmarks of tyranny or evil, when you think the personal power you weild makes you better than everyone else.</blockquote>
