[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2957497, member: 35788"] Ah, an excellent question - one that I didn't answer. But, since it was asked, I shall. In that example, the excellent RPing would not come in the cipher, but in the realization that they have opened up a significant portal to ... say ... a plane of one of their gods. Their god is so pleased that they have been able to figure out the riddle - for so few that have come upon it have been able to, that they are granted the ability to stay on the plane for the equivalent of 3 days. During that time, the characters are assured of no armed/lethal conflict - for they are on the home plane of a good aligned good. They have the ability to interact with all kinds of celestials - either creatures or beings like solars and archons. It is of their choosing. Essentially, the excellent of good RPing is in the reward of being able to solve the cipher in that for a time they essentially get to have fun on a planar level in a safe environment. The players get a chance to let their hair down, relax, and have fun witht he plot and be creative knowing that combat doesn't even need to come into their mind. Or .. something along those lines. I'm still thinking on it and what the players would truly relish if they could have a purely "creative moment." [/QUOTE]
