[QUOTE="Janx, post: 3061947, member: 8835"] throw in a few foils. NPCs who will reveal info, if the PCs fail to figure it out. The foil should show up, when it's almost, too late. But it should instigate more action. Examples: PCs investigating homeless people disappearing. They get nowwhere Deem that by midnight, the BBEG will have all the homeless people he needs to perform the evil ritual in the center of town, in the sewer. Have NPC X that the party knows show up at 11:30PM to breathlessly tell the PCs that he saw some dudes grab a homeless guy, and he followed them. He doesn't think he was followed on the way back (he's wrong). Attack the party with some bad mooks. One of the mooks will mention the ceremony (like hurry up and finish them so we can make it to the ceremony). That ought to be enough to get things rolling in the action department. Go watch a bunch of PI shows. Angel, Magnum PI, anything. A ton of crimes get solved by lucky breaks, not just questioning the right guy. Use the lucky breaks to get the game rolling again. [/QUOTE]
