Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenes" data-source="post: 3898788" data-attributes="member: 604">He has more power than the captain. The Lord of the keep and his wizard are away, from what I gather.Way I read it, the guards were preparing to shoot at the cleric even though he was clearly communicating his intent to parley. That's something to be scolded for, for sure. The first volley was ok, the second was stupid.The PC Lord sees a guard yell at a priestess - yelling is rather disrespectful in itself, against a lady and a member of the clergy. The PC Lord corrects the man for his faux pas, breach of ettiquette, or what you want to call it, and gets backtalked for it - another breach of ettiquette in my book.Our campaigns clearly differ, since in my campaign, not many commoners act like the captain did in this example. The captain acted rude and disrespectful in yelling at the priestess, and in backtalking to a Lord who reminded him of the proper forms.Other campaigns may have other social conventions, in my campaigns, nobles and the clergy don't get yelled at by commoners, no matter who is a PC or NPC, without some consequences. That's like calling the street cop who pulled you over names and four letter words when he reads your name wrong, something you don't do.The behaviour of the PCs in question did not give the captain the right to act disrespectful towards them - he should have followed the forms, and voiced his opinion "with all due respect". Fair for a 21st century? No, but entirely ok for a medieval society.</blockquote>
