[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 899578, member: 79"] Well, worst case scenario is indeed the PC's saying 'Heck with this, he can finish this job himself.' and going home. I can sympathize with wanting the PC's to take action at times. But having an NPC show up to give them a kick and some wisdom doesn't seem as effective to me as having some bad guys show up, get their butts kicked, and the PC's get new ideas. My group was waiting in an alley not too long ago, trying to decide how to check out a meeting place with criminals. The planning was going in circles. Some bad guys showed up, looking for revenge on one PC (the group knew they had been followed.) It was a non-fight. There were more PC's there than the bad guys had known, and the wizard quickly Dominated the leader of the bad guys. Using that as an idea, they sent him in to look around for them. It moved the plot along, and my PC's came up with a plan to check the place out I had not expected, I think it worked pretty well. [/QUOTE]
