''"PHEWOOOEY! Harhar! Your just a commoner, a worthless piece of dung!"'' The burly sailor called out to a man hastily carrying scrolls and an armful of vital regional documents.

I have to disagree that quite strongly Judge Erik. A commoner has no rights and are nothing more than animals.

''"Yar, me seafaring mates, lets go pound that man yonder to pulp just for the fun of it! After all, us sailors are right up next in line to nobility!"'' The man drawled, obviously a bit drunk from too many tankards of ale.

You must be thinking of some future fantasy world where class and hierarchy doesn't matter and god forbid where people have equal rights or something ridiculous.

Sir Facade,
 +
 +
 
 +
Who is talking about equal rights?
 +
 +
 
 +
In my hierarchy, if you kick someone who works for me, I will wait an apology and possibly think about punishment because he is working for ME.

''"Yarrr! Hur hur!"'' His mates called out in return, just as drunk.

I have a dog. You want to kick my dog? He have no rights, but the dog is MINE and is under my command. Now, knowing this, you want to kick my dog anyway or you will think about it before do something stupid?

Judge Erik,
 
   
 
   
  
−
''"Yiiipes! Don't! Stop! Ahhhh! Don't hurt me! Mercy, mercy!"'' The man whom had become the painted target shouted out, waving his arms whilst miraculously keeping hold of all the swaying parchments and scrolls.
+
When did you purchase the commoner? I see nothing of that sort that you owned him.
 
   
 
   
  
−
''"Huuuurrrrr! Yer nothing but dirt you are, so shut up and let us treat you like the good-for-nothing ant whelp you are! We are sailors, and we can do as we please! Harrrrrrhurrrrrrrduurrrrrrrrrrr!"'' Was the response.
+
How about I claim all the commoners in Sirion and say I do as I please since they are under me?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Fact is you seek apology from a noble over a commoner is the highest form of insult. It is as if you do not recognise his nobility and treat Sir Toshuk with the lowest form of respect.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
I think you should be the one that should be doing the apologising. If you wish to have some idiosyncrasy in throwing a fit over the affairs of commoners than it is fine by me, just don't expect the rest of the nobility to share in your wild fantasies.

Sir Facade,
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Don't be so blind. The apology is for me, not for the commoner. The gold was mine. And the time wasted to release him of the dungeons was mine too.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
And don't waste your ink writing about wild fantasies. Those who work for me and our Lords should not be harassed. And ignorance is no excuse. The commoner was working for me. He has my gold and a letter with my coat of arms.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
If you let anyone do whatever he wants with your soldiers, that's your problem. But those who work for me are under my protection because I know how much gold I spent with them. Do not harm my business and expect to leave unpunished.

Judge Erik,
 +
 
 +
 
 +
I had always thought when you said you released prisoners from the dungeons that you meant it metaphorically rather than you, yourself spending time walking to the disgusting dungeons and opening the doors yourself to release the prisoners.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Do you not have lackeys to do it for you? Do you wash your own clothes and cook your own food as well?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
And to know all of your business affairs to such details. Are you sure you can be fit to be a judge and look after the affairs of the realms when you seem to be so reoccupied with the affairs of street beggars? Can you not hire yourself a good henchman to do your bidding for you? When I want to acquire things, I just call my henchman and things appear. I have several such resourceful man at my disposal that I can lend to you if you so wish.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
If Sir Toshuk had called for the arrest of a person that was working for you, maybe it would be better if you have hire men that are more careful at what they do and avoid the habit of crossing a noble. Maybe have him executed to let others know not to be so careless when they are doing business with your official coat of arms. That should really help keep the people around you sharp at what they do. I tend to find an execution once in a while works wonders to the mental clarity of the men around me.

Sir Facade,

The man slammed against a wall and had to fight hard to keep his balance -- and grip upon the scrolls and documents he was carrying. By then, the first punch came raining down on his shoulder. A kick in the back of his left leg sent him crying aloud momentarily in pain, yet with fighting determination he held fast to the scrolls.
+
I'll give you a free advice: Do not use sarcasm against your Judge. Especially when your Judge didn't use sarcasm with you.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
I have my gaolers and guards. I have even a great man working for me, Gormok Auserwählt. And perhaps you don't know, but I have to order him. And it spends my time. I don't have to enter the dungeons by myself, but I am still wasting my time (OOC: every dungeon action spends one hour). And if you notice, when a noble exercise the right to act against a commoner, you are forcing me to waste my time solving this situation. Don't be naive.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
If my nobles not spend their time with the affairs of street beggars, I would not waste MY time with the affairs of street beggars. I am being very clear now, or I have to continue spending my time with commoners because my nobles have nothing better to do that spend their time with our commoners?
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Now, you have some problem to be solved or you also need more of my attention?

Judge Erik,
 +
 +
 +
Well, you have now lost my vote as judge. It concerns me less of whatever work you do as Judge when you don't seem to respect the birthright of nobility and to blame Sir Toshuk for the incompetence of your men.
 +
 +
 +
I would say that if any time I see a commoner that is slightly out of line, I'll have them arrested.

Another one of the sailors had caught up, and with ale heavy in his breath, he began to reach around to the man's tunic to hoist him upwards for a little more intimidation and humiliation.

If you find the workload too excessive as judge, there are others willing to take your place.

...Except, the sailor, instead of doing as he had intended, crumpled to the ground clutching painfully at his back, howling curses into the cobbled stone. His mates looked first at their howling comrade, then upwards and around the nearby area for standing threats.

My advice to you is to let them rot in jail if you do not wish to waste time and be more concerned about the affairs of the realm than your own personal affairs.

There were many passing townsfolk on the street, and most of them had generally moved a good distance away from the scuffle, clearly acknowledging the fact bullies and mistreatment could happen to any one of them should fate had decided so. Yet, amidst the people about, there was one crouched figure less than a few paces away with his back turned towards the fighting -- a position that suggested he was nothing more than a passing stranger stopping to check his boots for comfort.

Regards,
  
  
−
As the two conscious sailors turned to look at chest level about the street and people around them, the crouched figure swiveled around with astonishing speed towards the duo, and with the turnabout came the whizzing SNAP of a bow smacking the sailor's foreheads with almost simultaneous event. Both men keeled over to begin howling and cursing on the cobbled street themselves, drunken insults being hurled this way and that at their unknown attacker.

The man carrying the scrolls and parchments looked up fearfully as the bow, and it's owner, drew closer to him with a swift pace. He stood up with shaken feelings and slowly backed away as the opposing man drew near.

Suddenly, the man twirled upon the three men moaning on the ground, and with a flick of his body and limbs quickly had all three men up against a nearby stone wall with their necks being slowly crushed to the weight of a pressing bow staff.

The man holding the bow staff growled in a slow, and threatening voice, one that nearby onlooker could hear, and the three men before him would never forget.

Barely able to gasp hoarsely to show their immediate compliance and frantic understanding, the three men gulped a deep breath of air as the bow staff was released from their throats. Even as the local watch, signaled by the noble, came to take the drunks away and to deal with drunks as was appropriate, the three sailors were still focused on the miraculous gift of being able to breath once again, their minds not even daring to go back on the acts of the previous few minutes with the man and the scrolls.

Indeed, any man with scrolls in hand would never be looked at the same way again by the three sailors. They would later take a vow to encourage their ship captain to make hospitality for scholars, clerks, and scribes aboard their seafaring ship as comfortable as possible.
