Message: <blockquote data-quote="reveal" data-source="post: 1931930" data-attributes="member: 1236">We are in downtime in my Eberron campaign. We start back up in 3 weeks. In the meantime, I have invited my players to roleplay things they wish to do via posts on a message board, via IM or via e-mail. One player, a ranger who wishes to summon an animal familiar (an owl), took me up on the offer.He asked me where the highest point in Sharn was... Good so far. I told him Skyway but that it was a high-class part of town. He asked if he could access the highest point in Skyway... Interesting.... I told him probably not since it was a high-class area and places like that would actually be parts of upscale homes. He asked if he could sneak up there one night to start the summoning... Looking good! I told him he wouldn't really have to "sneak up" as it was an open location, it's just that he really couldn't afford to buy much up there.So I'm waiting for an interesting tale of a shifter ranger who decides that he wishes to find a new friend to help him. He will, almost invisibly, make his way up to Skyway, keeping a low profile and searching for a comfortable place to look for his new friend. He will stay there as long as it takes, concentrating on movement, sound, anything that could belong to an animal companion.What I got was this...*sigh* Maybe I just had my hopes set too high. Probably because I would have done something more dramatic. I know this player isn't a particularly great roleplayer but I was hoping for more since they had time to get it together. Oh well...Anyone else run into things like this? Where you have hopes your players will do something grand and get something mundane instead?</blockquote>
