[QUOTE="CydKnight, post: 7528044, member: 6873462"] Meh, I like the way you pick and choose items out of context and assume what I am saying is strictly an either/or situation and/or simply argue the opposite of what I was apparently attempting poorly to say. Nowhere was I am implying the party should be penalized for "good choices". My statement was more in line with if all else fails. I also am no advocate of [I]facing a dragon as is, and letting the dice fall as they may[/I], as you put it. My post assumed the DM had done all possible to the best of his/her ability and the party still insisted on taking a more direct route to the BBEG. Since I wasn't sure, I led my opening sentence with the word "Sometimes". If it was a design flaw in the adventure, and the DM recognized it ahead of time during preparation, he/she should take steps to ensure that it runs smoothly. Your "Solutions" are a great way to address this kind of flaw and again, I assumed similar steps like this would have been taken before allowing a party to essentially TPK itself. [/QUOTE]
