What is worse is that (having seen this happen before) once they realize it is an illusion they never trust the GM again, and this is shown in what they say at the table and away from it and their attitudes to the GM.I think you are better off just letting the players in on it. If the players really want  a big fight at the end then remove the illusion and just say, there will be a big fight at the end regardless of your previous actions. I have no problem with players suggesting scenes that they wish to play in. Nor do i really have an issue changing the reality of the world, i prefer to do it, though, with the players buy in.Sometimes they will suggest that the old woman at the end of the road is really a witch. If they want this old woman to be a witch in the story (assuming she is already not determined to be something else important to the story) then i would just make her a witch.</blockquote>
