Message: <blockquote data-quote="ElerethBerantor" data-source="post: 1350400" data-attributes="member: 16516">My players have yet to get sidetracked by mundane details (that I remember, at least), but they have the incredible knack to either completely ignore certain plot details or not to remind each other.  I don't like interfering with them so I usually let them go off on their tangent for a bit before stonewalling them with an NPC.The worst example of this, though, was last night.  (this is in FR)The players have been tracking a shipment of blood (the blood of good-aligned clerics) and have made their way to Calimport.  Originally they had been chasing after some followers of Shar, but, advancing through the plot it was made fairly obvious that the Shar-worshippers had either just been used or had, oddly enough, sold their services to someone else, as the blood was now in another group's hands.However, the ranger seemed to have completely ignored this bit of information and was determined to find the (non-existant) Shar-worshippers in Calimshan at any cost.  The other players didn't even mention to him that "um, they don't have the blood any more."  He spent over an hour chatting with various NPCs before I got annoyed and had another player--the one who had gotten the clue directly--tell him that he was on COMPLETELY the wrong track.</blockquote>
