About (Guild)Protected Items and Persons
§1 About Guildprotected Items
All the guilds have special guilditems which are to be used by the members
of the guild only. These items are listed in section §3.
It might happen that a person will be found owning a guilditem of a guild to
which that person does not belong to. First of all this is a matter of the
involved guild and no matter of the court usually. The members of the guild
in question have got the right to demand the guilditem back. If the person,
who does not belong to the guild, refuses to return the item in question,
the guildmembers, as well as friends asked to assist in this matter, have
got the following opportunities to regain it:
- Steal the item either with magical or mundane powers.
- Fight the person in stunmode and get only the guilditem from him/her.
- Fight the person in killmode and get only the guilditem from the
corpse.
If none of these options is available, any leaderranked guildmember is
allowed to inform the court about this crime.
- Write a mail to the judge who will order his/her assistants to make
an examination on the person in question. An examination includes the
bags, backpacks, discs, etc. of this person.
If the item in question is not found, the court will not take any further
steps in this affair.
If the guilditem is found at the person, he/she will be ordered to give it
to the assistant who has done the examination. If he/she obeys, a fine of
2 platinum coins for each regained guilditem will be charged. If he/she does
not obey, a fine of 2 platinum coins per day and guilditem will be charged,
starting with the day of the inspection and continuing until either the
items are handed to the judge or his/her assistants or the court receives a
message from the original accuser asking to stop further fines.
If a person in question does not allow the examination of his/her stuff,
he/she will be treated as if the guilditem has been found.
If the accused happens to own named items legally (i.e. bought from the
guild or acquired by friendship to a member of this guild) and he/she will
be able to prove that (preferably by a written document), no fines will be
raised and further requests regarding this matter will be ignored.
§2 About Guildprotected Persons ::top
If any guildprotected person is under attack, any member of the protecting
guild, as well as friends asked to assist in this matter, may support the
attacked person without giving any warning.
If the attacker dies during the fight, his/her whole inventory may be taken
as a reward. If any one of the defenders dies (defenders are all present
guildmembers of the protecting guild, as well as all friends who has been
called upon for assistance), he/she is free to make an accusation of
playerkill at the court.
If the attacker quits the fight and runs away, he/she may only be hunted
while staying inside the building where the protected person can be found
usually.
If any guildprotected person gets killed due to such an attack, any
leaderranked member of the protecting guild is free to make an accusation at
the court (the subject for such an accusation is "Guild").
Any reported case of killing a guildprotected person will be fined with a
basic fine of 15 platinum coins payable to the City of Padorn. This fine
will also be raised, if the attacker gets killed due to his/her attack.

guildprotected item may not make an accusation at the court. Since he/she
has done something prohibited by law, he/she should be aware of the riscs
and consequences.
§4 How to Declare an Item or a Person to be Protected by a Certain Guild ::top
For declaring a special item or a special person to be protected by a
certain guild the following steps have to be taken:
- A member of the administration of the guild has to start a voting in
the guild about protecting the item or person in question.
- After the voting has been resolved, the guildmaster has to inform
the court about the decision. Of course the voting would have to be
a successful one. Also reasons have to be given why the item or
person in question should be protected.
- The judge is not bound to the result of the voting. But if the
request is declined, reasons have to be given to the guildmaster of
the requesting guild.
- If the judge agrees, the item or person in question may be protected
as described above from the day on it/he/she is added to the list in
section §3 of this book.
§5 About Summoned Creatures ::top
Generally summoned creatures like mages' creatures, bards' beasts, fenris
wolves, elementals of any kind, eagles, demons, imps, undeads, etc. are not
protected by law. Thus an attack on them is not generally forbidden.
But if the owner is at the same location with his/her summoned creature (and
is visible for anyone arriving) and in a team with it, he/she may, according
to the current situation, estimate the attack on his/her summoned creature
as an attack on his/her own life. In this case the law about playerattacks
will be applied here.
Mind that if the owner of the summoned creature is either not at the same
location with his/her summoned creature (or invisible) or is not teaming
with it, he/she is not allowed to do any harm to the attacker.
