DM'ing is easiest when you are adjudicating actions and responding to PC and NPC actions as they come up. So, while I don't think your DM necessarily handled things perfectly, I also think it would have been tough to manage that split.If a player character really wanted to do a long-term split from the rest of the party, I would either plan that session for a time when the player of the absent character wasn't going to be present, or ask the player to pick up another character who can stay with the rest of the party until his or her primary character returns from the solo mission. That would make things much, much easier for me as a DM, and hopefully make things a bit more entertaining for the player as well!</blockquote>
