Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gilladian" data-source="post: 6378207" data-attributes="member: 2093">I was lucky - they hid the wagon at the end of our first session, and then the second session, two players didn't come and I had a new player join - so the absent PCs guarded the wagon. Now, on the way to Phandalin proper, the new player can't make it, and at least one of the original missing players will be back, so it should work out perfectly. But if that hadn't happened, even if they were gone for several hours, I'd be unlikely to do anything cruel to the wagon/oxen. It just doesn't seem VERY likely, and would make new players, of whom I have several, frustrated and wary of any decision they made in the future. I'd rather have bad stuff happen later, when they're more used to the game and it seems less arbitrary.</blockquote>
