A random encounter on the streets of Hardby: the characters noticed a foreign noble abusing a merchant. So they stepped in.
The sorcerer cast Calm Emotions.

The sorcerer cast Calm Emotions.
Unfortunately, the noble saved (as did some of his guards). And he took exception to this.
In the ensuing fight, the characters killed one of his guards.

Then the city watch arrived and arrested everyone. In the questioning afterwards, it was determined that not only had the sorcerer started the fight (by casting a spell), but he'd also killed the guard.
The verdict? Exile for the PCs, *except* the sorcerer. He got 20 years.

From the rogue's point of view, the worst thing that happened was the goblin ambush on the way home. He escaped, but the goblins shot his horse!
But the sorcerer's player is now rolling up a new character. It's a cornerstone of my worlds that the Powers That Be can deal with adventurers. Just because you're a PC doesn't mean you can do anything you want!
