[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 5665740, member: 73201"] Good thread idea [MENTION=54846]Rechan[/MENTION] ! Off the top of my head one of these things happened a few months ago for a group of friends that I ran a small adventure for that lasted 3-4 sessions. The very first session, the PCs were hired to go "clean out a local infestation of vermin" from the local lord. Which happened to be a bunch of kobolds (cliche I know) in the lord's gold mine. The PCs ran through the mine slaughtering kobold after kobold, progressively getting deeper into the mine. They then turned a corner and saw at the back of a big cave a White Dragon. They all stopped dead in their tracks as the dragon roared at them and claimed it was going to eat them for trespassing and killing its followers. A conversation ensued at the table in which the players were wide-eyed and claiming that they were too small to take on a dragon! I asked them, "What did you think this game was called? Houses & Humans? It's DUNGEONS & DRAGONS! What are you going to do?" After a brief stint of them talking back and forth (meanwhile in game they were backing out of site of the dragon) they decided to go ahead and fight it. It was only a level 3 wyrmling, but the way I described it to all these level 1's made it seem more sinister than it really was. I got a good laugh at their expense when they took it down fairly easily. [/QUOTE]
