[QUOTE="Madefromletters, post: 3900242, member: 10037"] Do some people not understand exaggeration or hyperbol at all? I suppose i must be stuck in this whole mind set that people dont take foundly to being man handled or insulted no matter what their station in life. It is called being a human/orc/elf etc [i](im assuming for demi humans)[/i]. If i did something wrong (that actually didnt matter in the end anyway) but it seemed to be the right thing to do at the time and the pope said to me "you a stupid little bastard and the devil he will eat your soul" i would tell him where to go and ask if the authour of the bible actually wrote any other fictional works but if the pope said "your actions wernt correct cause you let your emotions cloud your decision" then i would think that the pope is truely a wise and great person and im going to go to church on sunday instead of playing a make believe game and that he is not a complete power hungry tyrant wanna be. It was justified to say such a thing in my opinion and she should never have let it get to that point. She has underminded her status and the people will eventually hear of it via drunken tavern tales when or if the town reforms. In my limited olden day knowledge i would think that a lords followers are an extension of the lord so what happens to ones followers effects the lord. So an unhappy lord has now been placed in a position to show strength against the PCs who have set up a keep a days ride away and who have now also threated his followers. Does he show force be expelling his old and respected guards for doing what they are told to cover up his clear mistake of trusting the PCs not to mess with the system while he tried to save the land via another way. Whatever happens the seeds mistrust have been planted. [/QUOTE]
