RE: [DL] Texas Ranger vs a Blessed chaplain

["Brom Clancy" <spleen23@webtrolls.com>]

besides the fact that the ranger may outrank the chaplain, he also has 
police powers which he can use to just arrest the chaplain untill a 
ranger friendly chaplain of higher rank or clerical standing can put the 
pressure on the chaplain.
Of course the players could also comprimise and have the chaplain make 
the whole deal sound like a allegory for those who did not see what 
really happened while at the same time laying it out strieght for those 
who did.
