[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5222677, member: 18701"] My players seem to like to roleplay with the merchants and roleplay the haggling. I don't mind it either as long as they are having fun. The thing is, it sometimes leads to some very fun & memorable moments... Just 3 sessions ago, 2 PCs needed to buy thick jackets to avoid the cold winds of Pandemonium. The merchants prices were pretty high and they annoyed him with all their haggling, so he raised the prices even more. This pissed them off, so the Sorceress tried to steal a couple of them and got caught. She grabs the robes, the merchant lunges at her with a dagger, calls out for the guards, and all hell broke out. She yells to the other PCs that were not involved to meet her at "Ivory Downs" (an inside joke in reference to a location where a very funny situation happened in town just moments before) and she teleported away. The good cleric paid the merchant more than enough for the stolen goods, shook his head in disappointment & apologized, and left the scene to meet everyone at "Ivory Downs". So because they like to roleplay with merchants, they ended up in a situation that gave them something to talk about for the next few sessions. They loved it. If they didn't play out the "piddly" buying/selling routine, then this would never have happened. But of course, if this roleplaying type of stuff bothers a person anyway, then I guess this type of situation still wouldn't be any fun. But this is the kind of stuff I enjoy about D&D and roleplaying. I find it much more entertaining than just entering a room, and attacking a monster over & over & over again. Although I do love attacking the monsters. :D [/QUOTE]
