[QUOTE="dren, post: 2673492, member: 5176"] The scenario is this, a paladin has been wrongfully convicted of a crime and the punishment is brutual but not life threatening. The Kingdom isn't evil most likely this case could be a case of misidentification or a frame-up by someone within the justice system. Still, the paladin will serve many years if he is arrested. The paladin's church will neither give him aid, nor hunt him down, as they must look out for all of their faithful and while they do not fully believe the charges, he has been convicted in absentia. What would a paladin do to avoid arrest? Prove his innocence? What happens when his old colleagues come looking for him, not willing to use lethal force but not backing down either or listen to his pleas. Just so you know, this could be an ongoing point in my next series of adventures, the paladin is the npc protangonist and the PCs are faced with a grim decision, what should they do when they find him. The reward is not spectacular but it is substantial (2000 gold pieces) and they could use it to curry favour with the authorities. They will probably believe him when the paladin states his innocence. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
