He was under the command of a veteran soldier who has an impressive resumé of old battles and wars. They were sent into the wilderness to further the Nordaka's aim for a personal route that would bring them more wealth. The veteran leader of this mission whose name was Rodri had other plans... He had a treasure map that would reveal a lot of lost silver, long gone by the assault of the Tulwyn Tribesmen (a fierce race), so the owner had to hide it in the wilderness before he died (one of his men got away and later made a treasure map; long story...). After the new party consisting of the PCs, Rodri, his personal men, and some other legionaires, getting their ass whopped by the Tulwyns, they decided to head back. However Rodri and his men was to remain, moving away from the original orders. Now little did the PCs know that Rodri was planning to use the silver to further his aim to become someone important in the republic by giving at least half of it to the Nordakas. Jonny who was always a fiesty lad, decided after some sneaking about (learning about the lost silver), that he wanted a piece of the action since the mission was a failure, and failure meant less pay. The PC did the following... In the morning of the break up of what was left of the moved camp, the PC challenges Rodri who not only is twice his size but has superior weapons, experience and attributes. Not only did he challenge him for the leadership of the band, he also challenged him for the silver. I don't know why this sudden act of suicidal stupidity arose but said and done, Rodri being a man of honor was impressed with the youth's enthusiasm and decided to add him to his band of men. The PCs wanted more than that... He still persisted on a challenge, insulting Rodri in front of his men, while the rest of the PCs look at the scene stunned. Rodri could have had him shot down by his archers but agreed to a fight. The PC then pulls out his master ace. He wants a fight to the death dressed only in a pair or trousers or leggings. As a I GM I groaned out loud telling the PC about Rodri's past and reputation, the other players joined in my plea to the player, but he was sure he could take him. The fight lasted one round because Rodri had about 35-40% more in all skills, roughly 3-4 better in most combat attributes, and of course far better weapons. Jonny was hoping that Rodri would fumble with his attack and counterstriked with his shortsword against the veteran's sharp bastardsword. Of course Rodri rolled a CS and the PC a MF, which ended in a 3d6+10 or so hit, cutting off jonny's character's right arm. Rodri in his TA cut of the PC's head as well.The last part translated to D&D... The player gaming a 3rd level fighter getting his ass whopped by a 12th level veteran fighter. Not very smart... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
