Message: <blockquote data-quote="Numion" data-source="post: 3895666" data-attributes="member: 124">I don't think there's any big issue here, of tyrantism or anything else. A low level NPC tried to punk a high level PC, and a lord to boot, and got called on it. You can't let these NPC types walk all over you, it sets a bad precedent. And if you think this advice is harsh, just think about how many times PCs have got into trouble when they've treated an NPC lord with the same amount of disrespect?I think the player gave the NPC even too much leniency when he challenged a duel; just kicking the crap out of the insolent NPC would've also been correct. Challenging a duel hinted at equality - and that wasn't a case here.The only thing the PC did wrong was allowing the NPC to continue his insolence by not taking part in the defense later on. That action should be punished at next opportunity. Demote the guy or just kick him out of the fort, is my suggestion.</blockquote>
