Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

So if you get caught doing something at the Friendly, like casting a spell, or if you forget to put your weapon away at the bridge, I think that you should be given a dialogue box with "Pay the Fine", "Comply", or "Go to Jail."

If you choose to comply: You perform the action as required to comply with the law, like sheathe your weapon. If you pay the fine, you do just that. Gold is deducted. Everybody goes along their way.

And if you choose the "Go to Jail" option you get teleported to a Jail Cell, and if your friends see you get arrested have the option to Bail you out, or try to bust you out, or whatever....and it could genuinely generate some genuinely hilarious RP.

Example:

Geist gets arrested for Drunkenness, public nudity, and disturbing the peace (( Which, let's face it, was basically what Gary called "Tuesday")), and goes to Jail. One of his buddies decides he wants to try and bust him out. So he tries the old fashioned Hacksaw in a cake to try and get him out of jail. Gary's cellmate, Bubba the Orc, has been lonely for quite some time and Geist ends up killing him with the hacksaw in the cake...

Just an idea to add some humor to the server.

While it would be great relatively complex scenarios like that can't be scripted easily. Even if they were done flawlessly they would still be full of holes as plenty of RP possibilities won't be taken into account. This is more something you can ask from a DM in my opinion !

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

I disagree.

At Friendly Arm Inn, these are our rules, follow them or else. Break their rules, and they take compensation and kick you out. No reason to turn the script into an OOC gold sink, no reason to have the guards beg for your character's obedience, nor is there a reason for a retired adventurer Inn Keeper to maintain a PERSONAL PRISON.

Break the rules, get kicked out. It is a simple thing.

I've been fined and banned for 24hrs for "casting spells" on a character incapable of magic. No idea how that happened. Really disappointed me at the time. Having an option to "comply" would have probably saved me the headache of what was probably a glitch.
