[QUOTE="theelkspeaks, post: 7462897, member: 6922784"] THanks for all of the advice, everyone! Just to answer a couple of things people said, both #1 and #2 weren't directly relevant to my party's current main quest (they are escorting a different NPC through the forest and came across the first two along the way - I'm definitely not trying to gate the main story behind investigations!) Also, in #2 it was a Detect Magic ritual rather than using a spell slot. In that scenario, my party had made camp for the night in the woods, and one of the players heard sounds during the night, and decided to investigate in the morning since the sounds weren't approaching them, which is how they came across the clearing without it being directly relevant to their current quest. As for #3, it's not absolutely vital that they see right away whether some of the bodies were undead or not, but I'm definitely going to make it reasonably clear assuming they start poking around the scene before continuing onto their destination. Lots of really cool ideas and feedback in here, I appreciate it! [/QUOTE]
