You know this unwanted rp could end up being used for some better rp. I haven't been playing much for awhile but would happily come back if there was some good rp to be had. What could be done is the halflings go out looking for help because realisticly the halflings would be the punching bags of sorts. And then a group of people come to help. This could all be organized into some interesting roleplay instead of just people getting angry.
