[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6357367, member: 52734"] Kill 'em. I've had two different occassions where this happened to the players I DMed. In the first instance, the player of the samurai character mouthed off to a king who had "asked" the party for help. I should say, the group as a whole had a reputation for telling off others already, and somewhat come to expect they could throw their weight around as they pleased. They were a might surprised when this warrior-king strode down to the samurai, and without a word, whacked off the character's head (with a vorpal weapon), and had the body burned in front of the remaining characters to prevent his resurrection (the party did manage to later resurrect the dead samurai with a more powerful spell, but it basically cost them all their treasure from the king's task). I have to say they learned their lesson after that one. Another time, another party decided to cut the banter with the bad guy short by attacking him mid-monologue. If they'd listened to the monologue, they might have figured out how to beat him. Instead, he trounced the party; by the end of the fight, the party was literally [I]begging[/I] not to be killed. However, the bad guy would have none of that - they hadn't listened to him, why should he in turn listen to them? He then killed each party member in the order they'd attacked him. Luckily for the party, they did have information he wanted from them, so he later had them resurrected and tortured. They eventually escaped but after that, the [I]players[/I] were a tad more cautious about lashing out so wildly. [/QUOTE]
