[QUOTE="Christian, post: 1194651, member: 381"] I had some reasonable success with this sort of thing, one upon a time. This was about twenty years ago, so the details are somewhat hazy, but here you go ... The party was low-level, and all neutrals except for one good character. (Not a paladin, naturally.) They'd captured some cannon-fodder (goblins? kobolds? I'll say kobolds) in the dungeon and had hit on the idea of using them as Polish mine-detectors. They'd kick open a dungeon door, throw a bound kobold inside, and see what happened before heading in themselves ... At the beginning of the next session, I handed the player of the good character a note describing his nightmare. They'd lost one of their kobolds to an ettercap, and the PC had dreamt that night of the situation as experienced by the unfortunate kobold. Lying helplessly tied up on the ground ... the stench of the spider-creature approaching ... the sharp pain of the sting ... being bound in webs and slowly eaten alive ... He put his foot down about the strategy after that. :D [/QUOTE]
