[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6706437, member: 23484"] My 2 copper pieces: For me the biggest factor is what motivates you as DM, and where do you want to take us. I don't think of things as going through a particular book -- I just want to play the game. That said: 1 No strong preference. If the floor suddenly opened up and my character was naked in the Underdark, that's fine with me, if that's the game you want to run. If you have treasures and adventure waiting for us in Stonefast, then I'm fine continuing as before. I'd rather *not* hold back levelling. 2 Not a concern. 3 Fine, but I have a bad history of not running away. 4 I think it depends if the NPCs are part of the story: if they are (e.g. we're rescuing prisoners), then they (a) either have story immunity (monsters won't target them) or (b) the don't (and they will); if they are not (e.g. they watch the horses), then again they (c) either have story immunity or (d) not.
