        This doesn't really solve the problem does it though? The tailer could be
        the same level as the fighter and there might not be any guards nearby.
        She is still in danger of being killed - just not all the time and even
        then restricted by out of character means. Either way - a determined PKer
        could still have his fun at the tailor's expense - it would just take
        time.
        
        One question that I think springs to mind is why is the tailor standing
        alone in a "room" with someone who is wielding a weapon? I know I certainly
        would be decided uncomfortable if I were in a shop whilst a stranger waved a
        sword or gun around. If you read most fantasy novels, the characters don't
        go around baring arms - swords are sheathed away and are tied in place with
        a "peace knot"?
        
        Now what would really be nice, is if the guards dealt with the problem
        before it happened. If they saw someone walking about with a weapon in
        their hand, they could conviscate the weapon or arrest them. In essence -
        what would really help is IC laws inside the town which promote a peaceful
        existance.
        
        Outside the town, laws would obviously be relaxed. But I doubt Marian's
        tailor is likely to do much travelling alone in the wilderness. Different
        towns could have different attitudes/punishments to such things, giving
        everyone what they want.
        
        I guess the other issue, but one not really fixable in most muds is that
        you are limited in how far you can see. If the peace loving tailors could
        actually see their assailants before they got within stricking distance
        then they would have a much better chance of fleeing. Also I'd suspect
        guards would become useful in actually spotting fights.
