[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 54686, member: 386"] Yeah. You don't want to carry this to the extreme that the PCs don't feel in control of thier own actions. (Actually, that's not true; sometimes the PCs get slapped around by NPCs and such. But that's a different story, because they can do something about it. And if the PCs are feeling like there is nothing they can do, it should be because of things they have done in the past.) The PCs hear about the "Red Wolf" clan of Orcs that has been attacking the local mine, coming down from the Forsaken Peaks. The PCs think, "Orcs? No treasure. Let's go find something else to do." They leave for parts unknown. If the same orc clan attacks the PCs (or even if orcs do), the players will feel like nothing they do can keep them from encountering those orcs. Now maybe if you switch the adventure to feature an ruined monastery and a pack of CR 1 creatures... you're set. [/QUOTE]
