[QUOTE="Joseph Rossow, post: 4990812, member: 51615"] I'm going to ignore the stated question and insert my own, modified question, which is [I]"What do I do with my party when they are not on an adventure (ie. back in town)?"[/I] I must say, this has got to be one of my favorite parts of the game, and [B]I can - and have - spent entire sessions dealing with the antics and escapades of adventurers who are back in town with a lot of money, and very little sense.[/B] I love describing shady merchants who offer up incredible magical items [I]"A sword made from a red dragon's breath! An hourglass which will turn back time!"[/I] The best part is that, sometimes, the items are genuine! Tempting adventurers with items which they want but either can't handle or aren't good the party is one of my favorite things. I also enjoy describing fun encounters. What happens when a party of 10th level characters see a mugging? How much attention to they attract when they slam down a pouch full of platinum on the bar and declare "Drinks for Everyone!"? Are they invited to become members of the League of Dragonslayers? Sometimes adventurers make interesting and helpful friends, and sometimes they make dire enemies. On one occasion a Rogue rescued a Siren from the the clutches of an evil merchant, who used her to make money, and ended up getting married to her! All that said, I like dealing with what happens when you loose a band of rich adventurers on a city. The antics never fail to entertain. [/QUOTE]
