Bug...maybe?

The other day I was in evenshire and I killed some of the inhabitants (neutral evil half-ogre with a 6 Int). Well, when I got to Avendell everything was hostile towards me from guards to merchants. Now I have been told by several players that this is most likely a bug and to report it. I am not sure so I thought I would ask. Is it? If Avendell is neutral how can it be hostile to me if I do not commit hostile acts in Avendell? And if they are neutral how can they be allied with anyone? Since by the mere definition of the word, neutral means taking no sides. If it is not a bug and Avendell is properly hostile to me, does that mean I can go get one of the Avendell helms without violating the server rules, since they went hostile on me first? Remember...just asking here...

Dm's can usually fix the hostility glitch in game, but depending on who you ask, you may have to preform somthing first .... be causeful of [] he might send you on a never-ending treasure hunt

maybe a dm can reset your faction rating to avendell....and no you can't attack avendell guards because they are only in town and its a no pvp zone that combat doesn't take place in.

It may be a no PvP area but it is a PvM area when they are hostile. Or at least that is what is indicated with the sword icon.

Going to agree with Chase on this one.
Mess around in Avendell at risk of your life.

Thats nice...you have provided threats but no one has answered the question at hand. At no point did I say I was going to do anything, I was making an observation and asking a question. If I cant get any helpful answers then by all means lock this thread.

Well, here's the long and the short of it then: Evenshire Guards are part of an independent faction specifically designed for Evenshire, with LA, NA, TC, and RK friendly, and SL, MA, and AO hostile. This follows the premise that Evenshire is sort of a suburb of Avendell, in that it's technically inside of LA territory, but is autonomous enough to set its own foreign policy, &c. The named NPCs, however, are part of the Avendell faction itself, which means everyone by default is friendly; you'll notice this if you head into the inn past the first wave of town guards. As such, if you go hostile to those named NPCs, it's the same as if you attacked a guard on the Silver Road... all the LA guards would go hostile, and likewise, all the Avendell guards go hostile as well.

Despite this, combat inside Evenshire is kosher, and very, very not kosher inside Avendell itself. Just be warned for the future that attacking those poor, near-defenseless Halflings may get their buddies in town a bit in a rancor!

And as for restoration of Avendell standing, just try to pray for a quest... some gods may help and some won't. Time is the measure of all success!
