The character was by all acounts alone, the situation in which psychologically he would have been most likely to help. In a crowd this works, alone, it doesn't. Since he was alone, he should have looked for help or at least his own safety... Also, this is average person psychology. We are (one would hope) talkign about an adventurer here - someone who naturally seeks out danger and challanges it. assuming he was scared and not able to think of how to deal with violence would be silly (and yes, I realize you weren't actually doing that).(on a totally off topic note, just knowing about this psychology helps you avoid it. This actually is true for many bits of human nature, which is why I think people should be educated as much as possible to examine their instincts.)Kahuna Burger</blockquote>
