If you say I broke the code...then I will call out for it. I don't think i'm playing the perfect paladin or anything near that, but Ulothrye does try to follow the code.
So where did I break it?

5. Fight and extract justice for all worthy causes

All worthy causes includes helping gnomes., not just Brumm

8. Never lie; be true to your word.

I was honest about the situation from start to finish.

12. Respect the guild, and the other Paladins that belong to it.

I don't think I ever said anything bad about you ever, either than you being stubborn. You on the other hand slung insult after insult against me.

I don't want to look like a 'know-it-all' that has to get his way, but I think this is a good example of how paladins have a tough road. Just because you're good aligned and the gnome is neutral doesn't mean I have to tell him to screw off and go run to rank with the goodie. That's my view of it and my interpretation of the first paladin code rule :
1. Live to be the guiding light for all to follow and look towards. Your
beliefs must be as solid as your loyalty is to your god.

i'm sure you have a different one, and that's cool . Anyway, hope to see you in the fields soon.
