They will usually assume the worst thing, and because it is their idea it is usually right.What this has done over the years is prepare them for the worst at all times, no matter what the game system we play.That story is so funny because we had a similar metagaming event when the players entered Castle Ravenloft.  It was only the second encounter of the game and one of the players chimed in, "It can't be Strahd. It's too early to be Strahd."  They then proceeded to get their collective asses kicked by Strahd.  That was 7 years ago and to this day that line is still used when they encounter something they did not expect.Well done, you have shown your DM Quality - the best.</blockquote>
