[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5185684, member: 54846"] If that is the case, then the module should do more to offer that Option for the players. That it should present more of an opportunity, and more of that information, sooner, so that those who [I]do[/I] want to parlay are piqued much more, much earlier. Instead of sticking her in a room in a dungeon and those that want to parlay have to yell "WAIT DON'T SHOOT" when they walk in the door. Because they may be more LIKELY to want to interact if they have more to go on before they show up.
