I'm so used to mmospeak at this point and haven't picked up on all the jargon from pen and paper gamers That's the concept we're working with, that the other players will feel bound to stay with their leader until some way is found to free him of his oath. Taking some inspiration from Feist's Talwin Hawkins character, serving under the very man he intends to kill until the oath is broken by the Bandit King himself. Railroading is something I am trying to avoid, though I do have a meta-quest sort of laid out for them to complete, but this whole bandit king thing turned into a great surprise and I think I'm going to work into the overall story somehow. Right now, one of the other characters is running the game this week, I had some other obligations to take care of, but I gave him criteria and boundaries. 1) don't go past level 9 and 2) don't kill the king. I'm going to touch base with them later and see what happened and where they went. I gotta say, I'm new to the whole D&D experience in general, though I've spent my time behind the DM screen for the Hero Quest games I've run over the years. I'm having a fantastic time of it, and learning the game along with most of my players. And thus far the advice I've been given here has been incredible. I can't thank you all enough. <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" /></blockquote>
