Ple-Sen
Auto-translated
To be honest, I don't quite understand why Anselm started acting aggressively. As players, we understand that this guy is shady. But for the characters to continue attacking someone who clearly doesn't want to engage in conflict and only showed aggression in response, as a form of warning, doesn't make sense. And this is after he was shot in the eye with a crossbow – you can understand where such a sharp reaction came from. But he's not trying to kill any of us; rather, he's trying to scare away the group of fools who attacked him.
I don't think Anselm's actions completely ruined the possibility of a peaceful outcome, as the reaction of the others can be portrayed as shock and surprise at the anemone's actions. And I believe that we should resolve this peacefully – I don't see any reasons to attack Zeno, except for metagaming purposes. But even in the context of metagaming, we currently have huge debuffs with armor loss and -2 characters, just like that. We could create a circus and wipe out our party on this type of encounter. I'm afraid that our patrol will be ruined by just one such encounter. We can escort him to the city and apologize. The second option might not end very well either, but I'm more in favor of that. I don't see any other possible courses of action. And I'm for a peaceful outcome because we're already in a pretty bad situation.
