[QUOTE="werk, post: 2261334, member: 29663"] [b]IMO applies to entire post below[/b] I'd say the only bad thing you did was drop the missing bad guy into the mix right before resolution. Maybe if you'd had him still harvesting goblins during or between negotiations, the negotiations might not have worked as well. I figure the hunter is chaotic, so might try to ambush the summit, nothing really out of place there so long as you made all the appropriate rolls and everything is fair all around. I'd probably have finished the meeting, everyone is happy, peace riegns, back patting all around. Lots of ways you could go with this from there. The hunter continues to hunt the goblins, all deals are off, hard work gone. Maybe the hunter is meeting with the rest of the nobles and getting good diplomacy checks, so they decide to run off the party and resume hunting. Maybe the town (employers) of the party don't like them 'meeting' with the obviously evil and dangerous goblins and expect treachery. The hunter is a member of an evil organization that sent him to 'cause trouble' in the town and exterminate some key nobles. Once the party sticks their nose in, he calls for reinforcements. The only thing that could be wrong is your timing and the desire to stick to your game as written. No big. Tell your monk that not everything can be mediated, especially between two outside parties that are opposed on multiple levels. His mediation, at best, would delay the inevitable conflict, which it did. [/QUOTE]
