[QUOTE="ptolemy18, post: 2636030, member: 24970"] Um... it's called heroic roleplaying. The **PCs** are supposed to be the ones who save the day, whenever possible. Of course I *could* have the NPCs save the priest, but first the opportunity has to get dangled in the PCs' faces. About the "attacking city guards" thing -- as I said, the whole government is corrupt. What actually happened was that the PCs got involved in a fight with government-employed hobgoblin mercenaries who were trying to capture a sympathetic anti-government rebel. Lastly -- I never said that the plot depends upon the PCs rescuing their old friend. Not at all. Actually, in some ways it'd be more convenient if they didn't because I don't have a really clear idea of how to run a "running battle against the evil government" campaign (though I could if it ends up going that way). I just think IT'S BAD ROLEPLAYING FOR THE CLERIC OF THE "SUPREME GOD OF GOOD" NOT TO WANT TO RESCUE THE PERSON WHO GENEROUSLY GAVE HER ALL HER MAGIC ITEMS. ;) Jason [/QUOTE]
