I nod sagely, doing my best to look uninterested."That's stupid." What!?  "Remember that Tyr's in a civil war right now, and they're afraid of Urik. Any iron weapons they'd have would have been requisitioned by the army - if they even had the manpower to work the mines."And then I'm thinking "oh, crap, he's right."They're both good and moments, you know?  Bad because they've completely ruined your plans, but good because it shows that your Players are paying attention to more than just the monster of the week that they just killed.</blockquote>
