“What?!?!”

“Hey, it’s nothing to get upset about. Y’all act like we’re a bunch of spree killers, but really, we just grind on the avian farms. I mean, if you don’t want us to slaughter you and steal your delicious eggs, you shouldn’t build your nests so close to human and elf settlements.”

“We were there first. You built your settlements near our nesting grounds, so you wouldn’t have to walk so far to slaughter us.”

“Whatever… (Am I spending too much time around Frigg? Is she rubbing off on me?)”

see? now its back to not doing anything

This is actually an interesting variation on the old “If a tree falls” question – will an NPC interact with another NPC in a meaningful way if a player isn’t around to witness it? For example, the NPC Flinders is scripted to be robbed and potentially killed as a PC walks by. If the PC doesn’t walk that way, will Flinders be robbed and possibly killed, or will he be spared, or will his instance be left permanently waiting for a PC to walk by and resolve it, like Schrodinger’s famous Cat?
