[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 5074855, member: 27897"] Another thought on time limits. Rather than having the employer leave, which gives them the impression that they can hunt him down for their reward, have him die if they fail. They aren't looking for a crystal ball, they're trying to find a rare item or substance that he needs in order to cure his fever. Better still, to cure his daughter's fever. If they fail, because they felt that taking a long rest every 5 minutes was more important than the quest, then they've not only failed but made an enemy. There's also the issue that you can't just drop to the ground and go to sleep 20 minutes after you last did it. You have to wait 12 hours before you can take another extended rest (PHB pg. 263). A lot can happen in that time. Emphasize the fact that they're sitting around on their thumbs, because they just can't get to sleep. If they insist that they can actually get to sleep in that short a period let them do it, but not reacquire what they would if they had an extended rest. If they're going to rules lawyer you, feel free to do it right back. [/QUOTE]
