Actions Have Consequences

[Big Orc Man]

Hello, and happy new year!

This is something that's come up from a few situations lately, so I wanted to make sure there were no crossed wires of communications.

If your character does something, it can have realistic consequences.

Example - if your character and his friends try to murder a group of NPCs, and the group of NPCs wins the fight, they may and very possibly will kill you.

That doesn't mean you won't sometimes luck out because they show mercy.  But don't expect it.

You are trying to kill them.  Most people, especially seedy individuals, do not take kindly to that.

Trying to commit a murder and then being shocked and surprised that your failure results in the favor being returned is silly and immersion-breaking.

If you don't want to get killed, make better plans to avoid losing.  Don't expect mercy on a silver platter.
