Message: <blockquote data-quote="Troll Lord" data-source="post: 5865764" data-attributes="member: 1163">I would probably do one of two things:If the game is going off course from where you would like it to, I tend to bring in an utterly random and very brutal encounter. Some huge monster wanders on to the scene and falls upon the party. When I want to bring character to their senses I do lots of damage...not necessarily hit point, but destroying armor, crushing helms, breaking weapons and the like. It really tends to refocus the players.OrI think this might be a perfect time to use the NPC angle. Flesh out a few of the slaves, names, personalities, descriptions. Have one or two attempt to ingratiate themselves or at least throw themselves on the mercy of one of the players; the goal being to get the party to either stop the behavior or at least turn on each other.This of course can be destructive to the overall game...as its meant to be a game of fun of course...but if it starts getting out of hand as in the party starts to whole slaughter the slaves or each other, then I would refer to the above wandering monster. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Steve</blockquote>
