For careless behavior in town, you can be imprisoned

In Gran Soren, you can be imprisoned: if you attack a guard in the town or if you are spotted at night, in the prince's castle. To get out of the prison, you need to have the Skeleton Key (usually you don't have it - in case you are imprisoned, you are stripped of all your belongings). IN most cases, you will have to wait for the guard to walk by your cell and talk to him - 5000 gold pieces you will be released and your entire equipment will be returned to you. Being imprisoned does not result in any further ramifications, as the game lacks any reputation system.
