No you _s_h_o_u_l_d_n'_t be able to run wild like that. Anybody
who goes out and does somthing as stupid as trashing a town deserves
to be knocked off.  The player/character is dumb enough as it is.  I'm
not saying that the PC has to be killed, but he should be punished
hard enough to make sure that he doesn't do it again.  Also, you don't
have to use a 40th level wizard, a milita of fifty or sixty men would
probably do as well, and be far more realistic.
