OOC:
Uh-oh. I'm brand new here and they are already "keeping an eye" on me.
Here's the deal: I'm not overly eager to get into a PvP battle, but I'm not going to let any other character take a dump on mine (figuratively or -even worse- literally). Would anyone take that from an NPC? No. PCs shouldn't be different.
Anyway, it's just a matter of playing style. Some players don't mind direct conflict when the characters' personalities lead that way. Others get really upset when their characters die. I don't want to ruin the game for anyone else. If someone wants to diffuse the situation, Cain will back down. Shaking hands would have ended it in the first place. If Lady Fant orders Cain to back down, he will wait to "settle it later." Or Calamar can refuse to fight. Such a display of cowardice would assuage Cain's honor. Or we can fight it out if Rocco doesn't mind. How long can a level 1 fight take? I won't hold a grudge if Calamar kills Cain. More likely one of us will get knocked below zero and then healed back up- "Don't go into the light!"
