[QUOTE="Zinovia, post: 5523365, member: 57373"] It's not precisely a jailbreak scenario, but my husband caught our characters with an underhanded scheme that we totally fell for. We hired on as guards for a small trade caravan as a means of getting through a highly regulated country. This would provide us with legitimate traveling papers as well as a spot of cash. Things were fine until we were a couple days out and camped for the night. Our group was all on day duty while the other guards slept in the wagons and watched during the night. So we trusted them, and all went to sleep; with the elves in the group doing their meditation thing we felt pretty safe. Various skill checks later, most of us awoke to find our employers and the other guards with swords at our throats. The couple that managed to avoid being ambushed were forced to surrender their weapons or else the remainder of the group would be slain on the spot. They wanted our gear. All of it. After all, in the crazy economy of most fantasy games, what is the bigget source of portable wealth? A well-geared adventuring party! The whole thing was a setup from the start. We were stripped of gear and left tied. They didn't want to kill anyone. Of course nothing riles up characters as much as losing their hard-earned magic items. We worked on escaping our bonds and plotting our revenge.... [/QUOTE]
