This campaign was called “The Good Merchant.” The players walk into this strange shop filled with all kinds of items. They find something they want but theres no price tag. When they ask the shopkeeper what he wants for it, he hands them a black coin and tells them to bring it back when it turns gold. Well when will it turn gold? When you have completed a task worthy of the item you desire.The players leave in search of a task to complete worthy of the item (in this case it was a set of barding for one of their pets). They walk around town and enter town square.DM: You enter town square and look around. There are some people milling around, a few coming and going from the inn. A few kids play around the fountain, and a stray cat sits on the steps of the church.I suppose the players thought, a church, that’s a place I can find good deeds to do, or something like that and bypassed the cat, which was one of the deeds that could get them an item.And i wrote ~--Stray Cat--~ to show I put emphasis on the word. It really wasn't just some random cat, they did have a reason. I didn't write all that in there because I was trying to be brief. If i wrote everything I had to say, it would have been 2 or 3 pages, and no one wants to read all that ^^Also, the ring...I would ask for a description in case it was important. I've played with several DM's who intentionally keep information from you or they will be very detailed oriented. If no one says "I shut the door." the doors open. There was a room we were in were that actually was the puzzle, where you had to shut the door because behind the door when it was "open" was actually another hall.So I would ask for a description of the ring. If the DM says, "Its just a normal wedding ring," I'm content. But what if it has the seal of the king on it? Or what it it has arcane markings? Maybe yes, maybe no. Might as well check.</blockquote>
