[QUOTE="ellestar, post: 1661027, member: 6657"] Thanks for the plethora of well thought-out replies. Answering some questions first; yes, I am the regular DM (and have been since 2nd edition), and no; the characters weren't first level. We started at 10th level, 4 sessions later, and they are now 11th level. His character is a grey elven sorcerer from Celene, who has spent a great deal of his life working as an ambassador for Celene there, using his great charisma and social skills to good effect. This doesn't make it far fetched that he has quite the number of contacts and people of relative importance he knows. We had another session last night, and it went much better. His character went to see one of his contacts, the current ambassador for Celene, and his former "apprentice" so to speak. He suggested something far fetched to him, and I (going with the advice that what the player has written down is from the characters point of view, not neccessarily what is the truth) rejected his suggestion. He got pretty mad. I don't really know if it was the character or the player who got mad (I can hardly differentiate between them sometimes :p). We have spoken about the "incident" today, over the internet, and there was no bad blood or something like that between us, as we are good friends. He told me that he understood what I had to do, and didn't want to come off as demanding something from me. [/QUOTE]
