[QUOTE="robberbaron, post: 2076347, member: 14771"] How about having the Goblins (if there ARE actually goblins) attack the party as they are horning in on their turf. After all, they may have had their eyes on the horse themselves. Or, if the goblins are better organised they might frame the party as being the raiders. I know what you mean about it being your story. I get a bit defensive about that myself but, if the players want to do their own thing, all you can do is let them. If that means your planned adventure comes to naught, file it and use it later. I have lost count of the plotlines I have shelved because the players wanted to do something else. Eventually, I stopped having individual plotlines and settled for a fairly complicated "world" where stuff happens, whether or not the players take an interest. Then again, you may want to ease back on the linearity and have several different things happening, all with life of their own - the ones the players don't look into can continue and grow and perhaps draw their attention later. Old geezer going for a rest now. [/QUOTE]
