[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7495316, member: 28301"] More on suggestion: I do think “Help us kill your boss” is unreasonable though except in certain circumstances. However taking an enemy out of combat with “You need to make sure that other lair entrance is guarded so you should go there” is reasonable. If you have already cleaned out most of the place then “I would gather reinforcements then report back here in 10 minutes” would work. If you know enough about the target to know it’s ambition is to take over from the boss then “If you sit this battle out then you can be the boss” would work. I also think alignment would be a consideration, a chaotic target would be open to various shenanigans then a lawful creature would. Certainly a captured target would give up almost anything, “Tell is about the lair and help us map it out” is fair game, this incentivized smart play. One that I saw allowed was to tell the brute guard of the spell casting boss “You need to drag your boss to safety right away!” resulting in the brute grappling the boss and just dragging him away from the combat.
