Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 3898669" data-attributes="member: 9037">I will tell you why I would back the miltia it is because they didn't do anything wrong. They are under attack by vampires, what appeared to be a vampire shows up at the front of the keep. Their orders were to protect the keep from the vampires. I would think that killing vampires by firing silver arrows is following orders.I have said this before if this was my game and the cleric did what he did I would have the guards fire arrows to. There are consquences to your actions you don't just do things like that. You know the guards are going to be trigger happy with all that they have been through. You usually play clerics with a decent wisdom and anyone with a decent wiasom knows that it is not very prudent to blunder into a tense situation like the one these miltia have been in.Your Prince example is not the same at all. Nor is telling off a wizard. We are not talking about NPCs or PCs getting up in the face of higher lord for no reason. You have a tense situation going on you have a keep under seige the lords of the keep have left to find allies. From what I understand the PCs were offered hospitality but not command of the keep which means that command fell to the captain. One of these PCs does something foolish causing you to waste your ammo and cause your nerves and those of your men to become more frayed. In rushing another PC cleric yelling and even when you stop firing she keeps yelling so I think it was perfectly natural for the captain who is in a tense situation to yell back because that is what people tned to do.The PC lord who then came along imo didn't behave as a leader or a very wise lord he behaved like an angry bully. Sure he may have the right of noble blood to be offended at the captain yelling at the cleric and he may have had the right to beat the snot out of him. But was his actions the actions of a smart wise leader. I don't think so. A wise leader would know that men in war often get anxious and tense and tempers get heated he should have tried to salvage the situation. And yes I do think that PCs in this same situation should expect their leige to back them if something happened like this.</blockquote>
