[QUOTE="Ruined, post: 2125086, member: 113"] I had a bit of metagame meanness with my party recently. The party is currently in possession of half of an artifact looking for a way to destroy it before the enemy wizard can take it from them and make it whole. One of the PCs never knew her parents, having been orphaned to the church where she was raised. At one point earlier in the campaign, they ran into a double of her, possibly doppleganger, who fought like a rogue and escaped. This was established and later the player went on maternity leave. When she came back, we decided to have some fun with the party. The PC appears back to the group, all nice and friendly. Since she's a knoweldgeable cleric type, they readily agree to let her hold onto the half of the artifact for study the first night she returns. Unfortunately, it was the assassin duplicate they handed the artifact to, who easily escaped the village. The player played the role to the hilt, working under my guidelines of what she would and would not know. And then of course I ended the session with her having gotten away, so I could hear the grumbles of players for a week. [/QUOTE]
