"Some people probably will, unfortunately. Of course it's generally a good idea to stay away from those people, too, once you know who they are. The law - might, depending on the situation - if you actually did do something there's a law against, you might get in trouble even if they wouldn't usually bother, if someone's right there demanding that they do something about it - if they're just saying you looked at them funny, or insulted them or something, the law won't care even if they do think you did it. If you're not sure how much trouble you're in, try to get to a good god's church - Pelor's is best, most places, but any good church will do in a pinch, we'll all try to make sure you aren't punished more than is fair. And anyway all of this is rare to have happen, it is illegal for people to attack each other, no matter how insulted they feel."
"And again, you aren't going to be maimed no matter what happens - nobody but a professional warrior can do that kind of damage, even armed, and - I suppose I can't say noplace gives that kind of punishment, but it's the sort of thing you'd be warned about ahead of time, it won't be a surprise."
