[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6158469, member: 66434"] DING! The runes will be in a given language. Either someone in the party can read that language or not. If not then its just a bunch of scrawlings and the party has a tough fight coming unless they flee. If someone [I]can[/I] read the runes then their nature may provide clues toward a solution. Players make bad assumptions until they learn to do otherwise. As a DM it is your job to make sure the players are not making those assumptions in the absence of information that they should have. So if the players have all the info that they should, let them come up with their own conclusions, don't play the game for them. In this case informing any player capable of reading the glowing runes what language they were written in would be providing adequate information. As long as you did that then all is good. It isn't the DMs job to draw conclusions for the players. [/QUOTE]
