Someone scripted Baltus to fire off a set message for any "request" command. The script command does not distinguish between targets of the script (sentinel 1 or sentinel 2 isn't differentiated, in other words).

I can't think of an easy way to fix this (other than to delete the script and make Baltus gray aura), but go ahead and typo log it.

A grey aura paladin?

Just kill that request script, I don't understand why Baltus wouldn't relinquish his lance? All the other guards do it, ayamao and nerina guards do it.

He wont do it because its guard issue. Unless you are a guard you cant "request" it from him. Makes sense to me. I think all the other guards should get the same script. Then people could actually armor their guards to be more effective.

I am in the tribunal and I still can't request it. which is fine, really. Yvette and Quentin should be the same way, since their weapons keep getting requested and it's annoying as hell when you're under time pressure.

Well, then since over 2/3rds of the items that can be requested are actually on guards. Request would be made less than useless.

Get rid of his script and allow it to be requested. Every other country with lightie guards has to deal with it.

How about we get rid of request all together!

How about no!?

just out of curiosity, why were you requesting it to begin with when you could just order it?

He was requestion a halberd. That doesn't make sense to me though because Baltus has always had a battle lance. But maybe its diffrent now.
