Its just as easy to claim we can be sheriffs and judges as it is to claim we are executioners. The charter gives us latitude to interpret the violations under law, which Harsk interprets as a latitude in authority. Not to mention that but we can add divine law into this mix if you want to really complicate it.
As to just release or execution, all I can say is how limited! We can compel them to service, oaths, or any manner or other arrangement. This is not a polar option and HArks certainly has some idea of his own for those that are "Sorry".
Ultimately we are not the bearers of Brevish law in the way that you mean, true. What I meant to imply is that we carried some notion of that societies laws with us. That is to say we have latitude to interpret our role specifically but I would imagine, in our current arrangement we would not abandon the legal principles of our people completely. So yeah, some of these guys might hang but it might be nice to put others to good use if we can.
To this end Harsk finds it fine to to put together an ad hoc group to weigh the bandits stories and intentions and basically vote or debate about what to do with them. Dead bandits make for poor converts and they are not so evil that the evil can't be beaten or sweated out of them.
Harsk is asking Haldaval to stay his anger and talk to the group out of earshot of the bandits. I think the paladin and the inquisitor can see eye to eye on that yes? Professional courtesy and all that?
Haldaval is just shocked that we had the guy willing to talk and we're not just getting the info from him.
His patience has been tried, and there is no immediate danger to anyone, so he might be spent for a while.
And Harsk is older and knows the man has either said most of what he knowd and can be made to say more later if needed.
Tityanna likes older men :P
Then again, I'm sorta waiting on how Rhys plays Akiros. *giggles*
Time to feed and sleep my baby boy, ill het in and explain my intentions in a bit.
Jeez you guys and the damn horses. I meant single stall in the stable not letting them roam free to screw with the horses :-)
Shhhh! Don't give Tityanna the Great any ideas ;)
The bandits are in the storeroom. Harsk and Tityanna "put" them there.

D'oh! I must've missed that. I'll edit my post. Thanks! :)
Wow, for all the posting yesterday everyone is pretty quiet today...

That's true. In a way, though, I was a little glad for the reprieve; I got a lot of (non-gaming) things done today! :)
Maybe everyone's sleeping, since yesterday they didn't? ;)
aye, hence my hesitance to proceed. I was going to post something to the effect of "maybe one of you should talk to the paladin since he doesn't seem to enjoy my company" but figured that Harsk would just get upset.
brain is starting its slow cycle back on...
Well, that and my KM group is exposition heavy as of late, and I do like to give myself a few hours between posting as a GM and a character to minimize the temptation to meta. Luckily my group is well ahead at this point.
I will post once I have some tea in me.

Hm, maybe I'm misreading. Are you looking to Ray for support or as a mitigatory between you and Hadaval when he posts?
I was actually think you were going to ask someone else to talk to Hadaval alone, but that might be because I forgot Harsk wanting the group to discuss things together. It's been one of those days.
Ah no, she just feels more comfortable speaking to him when Ray is there, and also because she intends both of you to come out and offer an opinion.
Man, writing bandits really takes it out of me. Especially as my party has no paladin to let them know that they're all evil (although the way I play em most of em are pretty ambiguous as well, but I'm not letting my party save everyone, either. Some just don't want to be saved).
Sorry, I have a bit of a project I'm working on, that hopefully I'll finish by tomorrow, so I can get back to lots of posting. I'll try to post to keep things moving when I can think in the morning.... but then I'll be gone most of tomorrow too.
A large, bleary-eyed thrush ambles down the corridors of the OOC thread, its claws clacking on the floor with each step. A cigarette dangles out of its beak, and it carries a plus-sized mug of steaming coffee in one wing (poorly, as it has no hands).
It dips its beak into the coffee, takes a deep pull of the life-giving wake-up juice, and wipes a dribble from its beak as it regards Haldaval. "Please, sir, have a seat. Stay awhile. We're going to have ourselves an . . . understanding before the morning's through."
It ruffles its feathers, coughs into a wing, and continues. "So, what's this about having a life outside of play-by-post, eh friend?" It makes a show of cracking its knuckles ominously, realizes it has no knuckles, and settles for a threatening chirp.
Ah, yeah. Only slightly in advance, and I know that weekends are rather slow anyway, but I'm driving into LA to visit with my family for the last hurrah before I go back home and will likely be unavailable to post between noonish and late Saturday evening PST.

It's quite alright, Hu5tru. Enjoy your family-visit! :)
Random: My family's in Northern California (where I'm originally from); I'm visiting them toward the end of the month (with my wife and baby girl). I haven't visited my state of origin in . . . 4 years, now. I don't live in Scandinavia, though (you're in Norway, right?); just smack-dab in the middle of the States.
Not yet in Norway, but that's the master plan. My husband is a national, and disabled and therefore requires the social welfare program there.
My dad's family is in No. Cal, scattered about the greater San Jose area and Sacramento. I've driven as far as Humboldt once, but can't say I'm familiar with stuff much north of Sacramento, not that there is all that much beyond Chico and Redding...
Used to dream of living in Pleasanton. *laughs* Small town USA within comfortable driving distance to San Jose, and there's a Ferrari dealership downtown. Or was...
I'm actually from a suburb of Sacramento (Roseville, specifically). Roseville's the home of one of the largest trainyards and one of the largest auto-malls in the States (yee-haw). Unless things have changed, of course . . .
Haldaval's current thinking is to ignore the chaos of the morning's events, at least until the bandits have been dealt with.
And with that I'll be off for most of the day. I'll try to check in when I can.
My mother is in the hospital until tomorrow morning after emergency surgery to have her appendix removed. I'm a bit scattered, but will be following if you guys continue. I think we can assume that Ray, Haldaval and Tityanna will be present at the interrogation without RPing them walking out of the stables.

Well I wanted to ask the Leveton's to participate anyway and give Ray and Malaswyn a chance to say something in that context. I figured I could get away with a couple of assumptive posts today without getting to far afield of you and halpm since I know you guys have a sick mom and projects respectively.
Yes, Hu5tru, I hope that your mom's recovery is perfect. Don't fret about the small stuff (PbP).
That said, I guess I was kind of curious how you wanted me to proceed. I think I'll start an interrogation with Happs (and have Oleg/Svetlana chime in, since y'all think that would be helpful). I'll start soon, if it's okay with everyone.
Yeah, go ahead. Haldaval will mostly stand there and look mean. He's reflecting on all that has happened.
I'm still going to be really busy through the weekend, hopefully I can make a few posts, but today made me realize It won't be easy to finish all I'm working on by Monday... alas.
Hey, all. I apologize for my absence; some craziness arose that required my attention, and left me temporarily without a computer. I'm back, now, and am ready to proceed.
Haldaval, it's cool if you're busy (I understand that, believe me). We'll just do what we can to progress things. It's all good! :)
Alrighty, then! :)
I'm around, slowly picking stuff back up gaming wise. My mom is supposed to be released from the hospital tomorrow morning.
My mother's appendix ruptured and did some damage, but she's all fixed up. She was supposed to be released yesterday but her blood pressure was too low. Shooting for this morning, but my brother and his family (my two nephews who are 5 and 3 years old) are coming for a visit, today. It's going to be chaotic till it's not.
Whelp, I could go on, but I think Tityanna has got the ball rolling pretty steadily.
Tityanna's not doing too shabby (or so it seems).
(In all seriousness, as to what's going on in your real life, I hope the best for your mother. I'm glad things are stabilized for her, now.)
Well, I almost finished my project. I will try to start posting more again tomorrow, but it might still be slow for a day or two.

You know what's funny: the reason I couldn't post was for some random personal-life stuff that cropped up. I felt that my reasons were not relevant, until I looked at them through "normal" glasses, so to speak.
In other words, I think all of us have some pretty serious stuff happening that kept us from continuing here for a few days, and we like to beat ourselves up about it.
I'm finally telling myself: dude, it's okay.
Halplm, it's totally cool. ;)
Oh no, Tityanna's gooder cop failed!
*laughs*
This almost exact same situation came up for my cleric with Hannis Drelev in Book 4. Except Hannis Drelev has like... status and skill and stuff and Happs is just a d-bag.
Nah, my stuff wasn't all that serious, just tedious and time consuming.
@Haldaval, Tityanna will totally get back to you about your comment to her when she feels it is a more appropriate time to. In the midst of an interrogation is not the time for this particular conversation.
Man, I wish I had your perspective . . . I felt like I was diminishing y'alls' characters, being not here, and all.
It is astonishing how Happs manages to be everything that Tityanna reviles in a man in one convenient to hang package. *laughs*
Happs isn't a very likable guy, to be sure. From what's mentioned in the AP, he's pretty much death-worthy (in my opinion, anyway). And . . .
It always amazed me when we played as a RL group that some people picked up Kressle as a companion. I always wondered "why?" Then someone wrote a story about her and Akiros being lovers... and it made me sick to my stomach.
The AP assumes that you can spare Akiros and he'd be useful to you, because he hasn't lost his soul yet. Kressle was just a beast. I know a man has needs and all that, but freaking Kressle? Sheesh.
Sorry everybody, had to play up my preacherness. Let me know if I overstepped my bounds. (And I think I remembered everybody's gods...)
Actually, I think Tityanna would worship the Eldest, it's just more convenient to say Erastil.
She is very... fey. Haha, except for being lawful. I anticipate her mellowing out and becoming at least neutral, if not chaotic as the AP progresses.
