Again, when we are in Galadon, we come to expect certain things from the cityguards and the Enforcer: We expect them to hunt down criminals and vagrants, not murder anyone that verbally haranges them too much. Galadon is a civilized capital city with laws, it is not a thieves den where the guards can freely murder whomever they choose - or so I thought. That is also a matter of consistency. Consistency of roleplaying. Apparently you and Oft Arbiter have no problems with agents of the law that go around slaughtering innocent civilians in the city in the middle of Galadon, and that's fine. Apparently you and Oft Arbiter do view Galadon as a thieves den, where the guards are murderous and lawless, and that is fine, as well. I just viewed Galadon as having different city laws than that.
