For example, if the PCs hire a group of people to rescue our hypothetical princess, all we do is say that the sub-contractors are 1.) successful and 2.) decide that they deserve the entire reward not just whatever the PCs allotted to them, and send them one of her severed fingers to make the point. Now the merfolk princess is in a different location and the PCs can now figure out how they want to deal with the greater problem they've created with all the trappings of a normal hostage/heist movie.As far as OP is concerned, and this is probably too spicy/personal for enworld discourse, the problem is that he and his group just don't like each other. They need a new group, simple as that, one that IS interested in the sort of stuff he wants to do. Trying to force a square peg into a round hole is asinine.</blockquote>
