[QUOTE="ccs, post: 6859972, member: 6803664"] I currently have a very well rested party in our Fri game. They LOVE resting. Even when logic would indicate they should press on. The last adventure they were in a race against the BBEG & his forces to find/figure out/gain control of the mcguffin needed to complete the evil ritual. They knew this. From the time the PCs entered the picture, I assigned the team evil a growing % per hour to find & use the mcguffin. Team PC just had to explore the dungeon & solve the clues (or just get lucky). The ONLY reason the adventure didn't end in BBEG victory was I couldn't roll that %.... Eventually the PCs did stumble across the bad guys - and beat them simply by luck of the dice (there was zero plan involved). All together the players gave the villains +14 hours by resting. And they kept resting in an area the BBEG knew of - and we're surprised when they kept getting messed with. Surrounding doors would be arcane locked, sometimes the badguy would send some of his dwindling # of minions to attack them, etc. Their current adventure also had an implied time limit. They were to rescue an NPC before he could be sacrificed. They had a means to determine if he was still alive & they knew when the sacrifice would take place. Once again, they rested & rested & rested.... Now the NPC is dead, a demon has been released, and most of the treasure is gone (well, not GONE, it's with the NPCs/demon....) I predict this campaign will end as the hero's sleep through the apocalypse. [/QUOTE]
