[QUOTE="Mark, post: 2104175, member: 5"] Yup. I agree. It can't hurt, though, to have some not-so-appetizing scenarios to describe if they waver, such as mentioning that they grew up in the area and it is very likely they will all lose some family members if the plague isn't halted (and things like that). There's no reason you can't imply (and even spell out for them, if necessary) that what you set up was "the group of heroes following the best and most likely path", and then have some others paths for them to follow if they choose but give them a bare bones run down of just how horrible it would be should they fail. "You want to not go in the mines? And just leave the area? I suppose you could do that but...if you do then you might want to say goodbye to your neices and nephews, all of whom will likely be covered in puss-spewing, pain-wracking boils within the month...their laughter to never again grace the halls of your families' ancestrial homes. You'll need to find something profitible to do quickly, to send money back to support the sick and dying parents you will all be leaving to suffer without... Well, are you sure you'd rather just leave? Cause if that's what you think is best, then that's OK, too, I suppose. You're "heroes", right?" (etc.) It's not railroading if you sell it well enough.
