[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9010471, member: 29398"] The very situation we're discussing here: while travelling, the PCs happen to see a tower in the distance and ask each other what they know of it. All they can come up with on their own is having heard rumours of it being dangerous. Heh - "as harshly as possible" would not leave any survivors. Also, it's a matter of honouring the setting. If the prep says there's a lich's tower there, that tower isn't about to get up and move somewhere else just because some know-nothing PCs wander by. Nor is it about to become all nicey-nice for them. And, in an odd twist, the party didn't know it at the time (and nor did the demon door guards) but the reason they were travelling by there in the first place was in a roundabout way as a service for that very same lich! If it was punishment, then why do those players* still tell - and laugh at - that story all these years later? * - those I still see, anyway. Havne't seen some of 'em since about 1982. [/QUOTE]
