[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5008784, member: 51930"] [sblock=ooc]I don't want to force anyone into risking their PC or treasure if they're not comfortable doing it. I do disagree that it's a risk, but that's because as DM I know that if I TPK the party they don't get the treasure for that encounter. Same thing if the party is forced to run, or the treasure is captured by a rival group. That's why all-or-nothing isn't an issue for me personally: it's what happens all the time in D&D, in just about every adventure anyway. In this case it *seems* different, due to a wager. I personally don't gamble, and as a player I'm not losing any money on this, and Emral will be raised (or not) if I want it done (or not). A small amount of money that's less than my share if we win is the cost of this; or I could re-submit the same guy. I'm thinking that, with the number of potions we've got, plus the approval-meter, we should be okay. Ken could go clockwork and let us die, which is a challenge; but at the same time, we're not too awful at this game. I think we can do it.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
