[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7558450, member: 6801845"] Talk with the meta-gamer and ask them not to do it any more. If he persists, start giving the group appropriate knowledge checks (nature, religion, history, etc) to know something about what they're facing and that it's not that bad. Sit the group down and explain that they are adventurers, not cowards that hide from everything that goes bump in the night. Let them know that they are wasting their - and your - time chasing orcs, that they can't even make a living doing that. Or run with it. They're hunting orcs and they fall into the bigger adventure. Maybe they literally fall into a dungeon or get captured or hear screams for help. Heck, maybe a rival group has a corner on the hunting orcs department and they put a stop to the group. Have the orcs form a special task force to hunt them down. There are a ton of options, but the best is probably just to be up front and talk about what you and they want out of the game because different people enjoy different aspects of the game. Good luck!
