Do you not engage with reprisals?In the Tyranny of Dragon storyline, there is an entire chapter dedicated to the Cult striking back on the PCs - I think as much as 3 times.In this scenario the NPC wanted the PC to do something for him. The NPC suspected the PC would not and so took something he presumed was valuable and prepped it for the Scrying and the Instant Summon spell should he need to.In the past I would just do it, the NPC would get their way by tracking him, scrying and summoning because it made sense in the fiction. The idea was to make a currency of that so moves such as the above can only be done where currency of that exists.EDIT: This isn't to be solely used for reprisals it could be used for unwelcome truths...the adventuring guild is built on an old burial site, the NPC person you're interested in is already married, the duke has had a change of mind in honouring you with a knight title...etc</blockquote>
