[QUOTE="gunter uxbridge, post: 803817, member: 7526"] In one game I needed to demonstrate to my PCs just how ruthless the local thieves guild could be. I had been waiting for several games when the opportunity arose. One of my players was moving out of state and would no longer be playing his gnome barbarian. I also had an NPC wizard traveling with the PCs who was no longer needed. I asked my friend on the last night that he played if he minded if his PC came to a violent demise. He gave me his blessing and my plan was set in motion. The PCs were in Ravens Bluff investigating the local thieves guild and had just blown their cover identity. With the baddies hot on their heals, they hoofed it out of town tot he south, but the now NPC gnome and the wizard decided to cause a distraction at the north gate and draw off some heat. The PCs camped that night well away from the city, but were attacked in the night my some glowing doodads that shot up their camp and dropped a small bundle near the camp fire. Inside the bag was the gnomes head with something "small and shrivled" stuffed in his lifeless mouth (use your imagination). The wizard showed up a few weeks later missing one eye and sporting some pretty horrific tales of his captivity. It was a pretty heavy handed way of showing how ruthless these guys were, and my PCs got the message. [/QUOTE]
