I posted this in the Cities board too, but I think it bears repeating for my guildmates!

>go gate
The gate is closed. Try KNOCKing instead.
>kn ga
As you move to attack the gate, the Sentinel Lyle moves to swiftly stop you! "Vandal! How dare you!"

A sudden shout of "The woman's dangerous!" heralds a nearby citizen to run for the guards. It won't be long before the The City of Shard authorities will try to bring you in for endangering the public.
A wretched filthiness defiles your soul at this illegal action.
It's best you not do that to the South city gates.

So apparently it defaulted to KNeeing the gate, instead of knocking. Giving me a nice endangering the public charge. The soul hit was not very big.

You say, "Tada."

WHAM
A sudden burst of oily smelling air strikes you in the face.
