protecting a pegasus
Elsewhere someone asked about protecting a pegasus that her character had just bought.
From my comment:
If the archer is worried about her pegasus in combat, she might leave the pegasus home sometimes, or look for a safer job -- which would begin good role-playing arcs.
In my devious game, some NPCs who caught on might try to kidnap the pegasus for ransom etc. Hell, some other PLAYER characters would probably do that. But in our world the gods would do their best to keep the pegasus from actual harm. Let's see, what was that jeweled bikini that kept the captive heroine from actually meeting a fate worse than death, she just got imprisoned and threatened a lot.
As DM, if nobody else did anything effective to protect the pegasus, I might arrange for some sort of fumble of something like Charm Person or an empathy spell such that EVERYONE would feel about the pegasus the same way that his mistress does. (Which could get funny if she ever gets mad at him, or thinks he is dead and starts mourning him....)
So at least I'd be doing evil-DM stuff to the opponents of the pegasus. Or maybe the word is chaotic-DM.

A captive pegasus? Pegasii have gods as well ... how would they feel? Would they intervene? Such interesting possiblities. Such opportunities.
Then why didn't the pegasus's deities intervene when he was for sale, before a nice elf bought him?
Maybe the slavers had communication blocked, but now that he's outside -- pegasus phone home. :-)
