[QUOTE="squat45, post: 2257492, member: 20921"] [b]Ok guys...[/b] Before too many of you all jump on my case, I've been letting this sit a while... Yes, the monk had a TON of opportunities to use his diplomacy skills, and used them very well. He managed to avoid numerous conflicts and bloodshed, all in the while promoting his beliefs. Yes, they knew that there was one guy out there and the player of the character knew that they had to find the last, unaccounted guy. I had already introduced him as a goblin hunter, criminal, evil (and hinted at that he was an assassin), and that he was not captured or killed. No, I did not allow a spot check as he was a decent distance away, behind the party and in heavy cover. If the party had mentioned that someone was looking around, watching, etc, I would have. No, I did not completely make this up, it was always an option... didn't think, however, that the rolls would go this good for the party. This was the 1st adventure in the campaign... he plans on keeping playing the same character... oh, I didn't mention that the player was the best man in my wedding and we've been friends for 11 years or so, so he is very open with what his feelings and thoughts are. He was a little frustrated, moreso because he now feels like his reputation/honor is going to take a huge hit. No, I do not not like this character, in fact, he is easily one of my favorite all time characters to start off, and he will have plenty of opportunities to use his skills and abilities later on. Looking back and talking to my wife (who was one of the players), she was expecting that to happen... and in fact, she was surprised that it took so long for this guy to reappear. Didn't talk to her until after I posted this... [/QUOTE]
