[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7228204, member: 6853819"] Sorry I explained that badly, ...derail the published material... would be a better way to put it. You are correct that D&D is not a book with predicated outcomes - at lest not if the DM is even slightly good - but the option I presented here would take the campaign well away from what's in the book and require a fair amount of work from the DM. He'll be planning at least a session (more IMO) to allow for the PCs to play through actually getting Nightstone. If the DM has the time to do that great, he has some lucky players, but since job/wife/children/life all demand my time I'm not able to commit to this sort of thing. As a result the campaigns I've DMed and played in in the last 10 to 15 years haven't been able to offer this level of flexibility. I make sure the players are aware of this going in (as have the DMs I've played under), so when something like this comes up I can say to them, "Sorry but no." I could offer this in my PotA campaign because the work required to run it was minimal (no claimants and they had just cleared out the current occupants) and gave the players an interest in the area PotA takes place in. I could not offer the same thing if I were running SKT and the players wanted Nightstone. Tall [/QUOTE]
