Do you think the scenario would have played out differently? Was that the only possible scenario?Your comment about getting past the gate, I think, was a bit on the unfair side...this entire *scenario* is part of the adventure. Did you have a chance of failing to get past the guards at the gate and cause a big fight? Yes you did. You all got together, did some good role-playing, and made a good plan to get past that encounter. I rewarded you accordingly.Did you have a chance of entering the manor without anyone knowing? Yes. Edit to clarify: Getting to the manor did not alert the guards that you were coming...the several days you spent in the city digging up information did. That's why they had sketches of everyone in your group.How would a noble who only cares about partying and the next wench on the list know what the garrison at the manor would look like? Did you bother to investigate and see if they knew you were coming? The guards you talked to at the party...they were bodyguards for nobles and probably only knew a little bit more than the nobles did. You mentioned that you scouted the patrols...did you send someone ahead to scout the manor, checking for guards? No, you climbed one wall and looked. When someone in the party asked to see if they could time the guards' patrols, you only looked at one side of the manor and didn't send someone to see what was going on elsewhere. None of you even went to the front of the manor to scout. You looked at one side, decided that wasn't the place to go. To me, that was poor planning, and the result was that you got caught.It's not like I'm going to completely overwhelm you with monsters that can kill you with one hit...I planned for the possibility that you would encounter these groups. Just like I planned for the possibility that you would have tried to fight through the gate to get to the peninsula. Effective planning got you past one scenario. Poor planning for the other scenario got you caught. That's not me setting you up for failure, @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=22779" target="_blank">Hussar</a>. I'm sorry if that's the way you feel about it...</blockquote>
