[QUOTE="arscott, post: 5742561, member: 17969"] The other question to ask yourself is this: What happens if they abandon the adventure right now? What happens if they leave the note behind the secret door and never learn what it says? (And I don't just mean what happens if the BBEG is left to carry out his plans without interference. Consider also what would happen if the clue, and the BBEG, didn't even exist.) Has the bit of the adventure you've played led to a satisfying conclusion that leaves few loose ends? They why not just ditch it and go with a different adventure. I'm running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft right now. Because of party goals, I wouldn't be surprised if the players left Barovia halfway through without exploring the castle or killing Strahd. And that would be okay with me--Means I get to use my next cool adventure idea that much sooner. [/QUOTE]
