Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kahuna Burger" data-source="post: 3898733" data-attributes="member: 8439">you know, we really must have read the OP pretty differently. The priestess started the "lip" by scolding the militia members after they had already stopped the attack. There was absolutely nothing to scold them about, she was in the wrong. They responded to her behaviour instead of groveling, and you call that "lip"? The so called lord (really have no reason to call him one) goes in and instead of pulling both parties into line, escalates it still more by acting as if his people had done no wrong. Again a lack of groveling, so the PC decides it's time to become physically violent.... I'm afraid I don't see where the militia messed up here. See a possible vampire and wait to call in a consultant? yeah, how about follow standing orders instead? Stop when the possible vampire is identified by an ally? Oh look, they did that. Accept a "scolding" for doing their job in a way that inconvienenced the lowest wisdom cleric on the planet? No, being a guest doesn't give you the right to abuse your host and being a priestess doesn't excuse being stupid. Grovel to a bully who can't keep his own priestess in line? Again, no thanks. The only mistake the captain made was in actually accepting the bully's challenge, as if it was anything other than a death threat if he didn't grovel to him.Edit and "powerful capable magical allies"? looks like they came back with their tail between their legs from their first foray, and aren't smart enough to approach a vampire besieged keep in a non amorphous form, so I'm not seeing much for the militia to automaticly want to defer to here....  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
