[QUOTE="Gnimish88, post: 1484265, member: 15041"] Recently, our group slew a BBEG in a large (~10000 SF) cavern with a soil floor. After grabbing the treasure that was organized around the room and using Locate Object to find some items (buried about half a foot down) left behind after a less successful encounter with the BBEG, we left the cavern and headed to the surface. A week later, we returned, wacked some unfriendlies intending an ambush, and talked to a spy that had warned us of the ambush. He showed us a large (~20' across and ~3' deep) hole where an orb of some power had been discovered and taken away by our enemies. Right near where we had dug up our items. Needless to say, many teeth were gnashed, but we chalked it up to the intended flow of the plot, after all, what reason would we have to dig a large hole after finding what we were looking for so quickly? Not so, apparently, since the GM went on about how easily we could have found it (take 10 on my rogue's search) had we just looked. It is my feeling that, since we had no reason to search the entire cavern in the first place, why mock us for not finding the item? Certainly, we will now thoroughly search all rooms, time allowing, but I feel he was unfair in actually expecting us to go looking for something we had no reason to think existed. [/QUOTE]
