[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6719417, member: 6702445"] There's no reason they can't do that. Going through the cave is not required; you just have to remember that Cyanwrath and Frulam Mondath are still around in that case, and they could pop up later to cause trouble. Did the PCs find out about the dragon eggs? Then later someone will ask them why they didn't want to go in and destroy them, and their answer will tell everyone something about the characters involved. If you go on to Rise of Tiamat, the Emerald Enclave will be very happy that they [I]didn't[/I] destroy the eggs. In that case, the main thing the GM has to do is make sure the PCs know somehow that the castle isn't the final destination. Storming the castle is completely optional--as you know, since your group found their own (quite cool!) solution. I guess what I'm getting at is that all this is only a problem if the DM feels that the players are "doing it wrong" by skipping some parts of the adventure. [/QUOTE]
