[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7336650, member: 6785785"] Sounds about right. I generally let the PCs actuons and the results of their rolls determine events. I did have one NPC who could not be influenced by them, but they pretty much recognized that by the way he behaved toward them. I think so, yes. There were negotiations, some progress was made, a complication was introduced, more progress...the players decided which faction they wanted to work with, further negotiations. I used the Diviner’s relationship with her Mentor to further complicate things. I realize I’m not being specific, but if I said I remembered every detail, I’d be lying! In the end, they had to ally with the Royal Family and the Mentor would lose out (and likely suffer a horrible fate), or they could side with the Rogue Faction, but they’d have to do so in secret and they’d earn the ire of the Ruling Family. So we kind of distilled things until there were two courses to take based on what the PCs wanted. Neither of which was ideal. Each had a drawback of some sort. [/QUOTE]
