[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 5098599, member: 1225"] FWIW, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Dresden_Files_groups#Knights_of_the_Cross"]Knights of the Cross [/URL]don't work for the White Council in the Dresden setting; the Knights of the Cross work for God, as far as has been shown. The [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Dresden_Files_Organizations#The_White_Council"]White Council[/URL] is the ruling body of the primary wizard faction, and (as far as I can tell & remember from the books) essentially have no formal ties or relations to the Knights of the Cross. Indeed, the Knights aren't really part of any formal order, as such. The Knights each wield one of three holy swords, so there are never more than three knights. They don't seem to have apprentices or anything, either. So, no, Knights of the Cross wouldn't be acting on orders of the White Council; the White Council isn't even necessarily the "proper authorities" to a Knight. Also, Buffy, giving someone up to the Council Of Stuffy Old Fuddis? The White Council are pretty good analogies for the Watchers Council, and Buffy does not historically get on well with the latter, so I see no reason why she'd cooperate with the former. Angel is also not so big on the doing as told. Both have, on the contrary, been known to take in all sorts of disreputable types (werewolves, vampires with souls, vampires with chips in place of souls, witches, witches gone bad and hopefully gone good again, Slayers gone bad, demons, ex-demons, etc.). Finally, Dirty Harry might arrest the villain, or shoot him (not sure Dirty Harry ever faced a female malefactor) in the process of arresting, but I don't think one of the original "loose cannon" cops would blithely follow the orders of authority, either. As for the situation -- I can't tell what the players were thinking, or not thinking. Maybe they weren't terribly familiar with the setting. [/QUOTE]
