So there was a fair trial, and the party was hanged by the neck until they were dead. (Orc orphan: 'Where's Daddy?' Orc Widow: 'Daddy isn't coming home son.') From the Baron's viewpoint this was about the best thing that could have happened, he got to prove to the orcs that he was honoring the treaty, sieze the party's goods, and the party looked like a bunch of troublemakers anyway... Costing him nothing.Or the person who attacked a hobble bush... (A bush used to tie up your horse outside of roadside inns) For some reason he thought that it was a monster.Or the party who decided that it was faster to swim the river (analgous to the Rhine) rather than go three days out of their way to cross at a bridge or ferry. The only survivor was the only one with Swim, who was also the only one not to jump into the river...Or the person who decided that the person wearing robes in the tavern was obviously a wizard, and since wizards aren't allowed to use offensive magics in town it was safe to 'pick on the guy in the dress hur, hur, hur.' Can you say Shao Lin?The Auld Grump</blockquote>
