Qual'Pachim is a half dragon (black) elf that was the champion of a long dead, corrupted elven king. Long story short the characters released him from his imprisonment and teamed up with him to restore the elven homeland. The deal was that he helped them find the device they needed to restore the heart of the elven realm and defeat the gaurdian, and they'd get him out of the demi plane he was stuck in. He helped and when it was time for the PC's to lety him go the party paladin calmly told Qual that he was free to go, but his sword that radiates very strongly as evil was not part of the deal. Qual was furious and the Pal'y was certain that this would goad him into attacking and then he and the party could slaughter Qual. Qual though turned around and challenged the paladin to one on one maortal combat to decide the righteousness of this affair. Seeing as the paladin was still badly hurt from the fight with the bbeg and qual only had a few scratches, Qual got to leave with his sword.Fast forward several months and the PC's are frantically trying to leave a city one step in front a the arrival of the kings gaurd. The king they're convinced is evil incarnate and that they're trying to dispose of. Unfortunatly for them the dallied a little to long and made a little to much of a spectacle of themselves in the city.Who should turn out to be the leader of the kings forces, Qual. He clamly tells the player that they've been most remiss in not returning to the capitol as per imperial decree. But the king is forgiving and undestands the affairs of hero's of the realm can be most demanding. They are free to ga about thier affairs. But they friends and asscoiates have ignored the imperial decree calling on citizans to report if they have seen the party. They are therefore all under arrest until the punishment can bew administered. A public flogging of ten lashes. For each infraction, oh and there are six of you in the group. My my. How ... painful.He then continues to smile as he tells them that he also understands how busy the PC's are with affiars of state and righting wrongs. So he has taken the liberty of dispatching 200 of his best men to "gaurd" the PC's estates and set up a garrison post a few days march from there. As the Kings new lord of the northern armies this is well within his power, and as a former "comerade" he is only to happy. The PC's are still trying to dig out of this one and figure out what the heck is going on. At different points the PC's had to restrain the paladin, the fighter, and the monk from charging in. They HATE Qual with a passion, and they've never even fought him in actual combat. In the words of Qual'Pachim, "How delcious." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
