[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9538438, member: 27385"] As a player, I would not like it much. I would go along with it and see what happens, but just saying you were drugged or gave up in a fight takes a lot from the player. It is a bit like the classic; you all wake up in a prison cell. One thing I have done in the past is to play a one-shot with another set of PCs. I might make up some NPC types for play such as some who are city guards and soldiers and the local sage's student. Another time I had the henchmen of the main PCs go but this is not as fun. This other group meets the bad cult and gets killed or manages to sneak about for a while and learn some things- thus the players learn some things even though the PCs do not. Now, when the main PCs find out about some stuff happening the players know but the PCs do not. They get wind of some soldiers missing or the sage mentions that one of his students went to investigate something and has not returned. Now the players are more interested and know some things that are about, even if you change things based on the first group sniffing around. [/QUOTE]
