[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8794771, member: 67338"] normally we figure out and keep moving... can we brute force it? do we have the auto win spell? if not then we just don't go through we move on. big difference here... queen or barkeep are 2 really different levels... but still mostly they get laughed at and we move on. hard way it is... up the mountain well then we handle what they summoned tomorrow. 3/4 of the time I do. um... do you mean time travel? I have allowed that before (no more S.T.E.P. in my campaigns) but in general I assume you mean try the lock or to seduce...no oh boy do I love examples... locked doors So we had a game of wizards and clerics (3 and 3) and we went on a stealth mission... not a good idea to start. We some how got passed 2 sets of guards (by pure luck). We came to 2 locked doors. Some how with 3 wizards, who all knew prepping that morning that this was possible, none of us prepped knock. So we tried to pick the lock, and none of us had picks or prof in it... so one wizard tried (with the best dex being 15) and the cleric used guidance... and did okaish with a roll. With 2+1d4+ roll he ended up in the low teens... but the DC was 15 and they missed it... so they tried the other door. the roll was worse. So the cleric of war with oger power gauntlets said "screw it I'll kick it in" and rolls a 1... the entire mission ends with team genius but also moron left to try again. 2nd locked door issue. the party was split, and the 2 (yes 2) expert lock pickers are on the same side (artificer and rogue) and the side with the hexblade and Ranger/wizard got to a locked door... and they finally eldritch blasted it to dust. summoning... kind of The party (I was in as a player) had 6 weeks to stop the evil drow from performing a ritual that would elevate one of them to a avatar like level. We got lost, then got distracted freeing some slaves, then escorting those slave out of the underdark.
