[QUOTE="quexly, post: 24613, member: 2309"] There should always be a reason why people travel in groups. Safety's usually it. When a lone barbarian decides to casually fly off to the nearest town, he's in a good deal of danger. That you attracted attention by FLYING over the countryside surprises me not - you're alot more visible way up there; that the harpies didn't kill you does. Although I don't know all the details, I do know of a fair number of DM's out in the world who are browbeat by their players for every bit of misfortune that hops, flies, slithers, or flumphs their way. Maybe the DM was out of line, maybe he should've found a different way to deal with these items (insanely overpowering at those levels), but you got out alive. No treasure if you're dead. Thinking the DM's out to getcha will kill any campaign - viewing a random fight turned sour as "DM b.s.", and harping on him is just a self-fulfilling prophecy. The DM will probably GET sour, and show just what the master of all reality can do. Of course, rub the PC's faces in dirt enough, and they quit. The moral? Give each other some slack, and the benefit of the doubt. [/QUOTE]
