[QUOTE="Radiating Gnome, post: 6011845, member: 150"] That's often the case -- combat is the default solution to most problems in D&D, at least for most groups. The antidote is [B]consequences[/B]. How will the Goblin King respond to the PC's actions? What's his next move? He's certainly not done -- the PCs have now delivered TWO insults to him -- first when they killed the kobold in his territory, and now they've assaulted his fortress and stolen his prisoners, denying him the recompense for the first insult. - Hound them. Send raids and skirmishers and saboteurs into the human town to cause problems and keep the PCs from earning an extended rest. - Attack the town while the PCs are absent. Kill the parents of the children and leave the PCs with a couple dozen orphans to take care of. - Consider the goblin's revenge on the town a siege -- deny food and water to the town, attack anyone trying to get in or out. - Send for help from Allies -- any hobgoblin cousins out there looking to burn a human village for the honor of goblinkind? - Make sure the townsfolk know that what they are suffering is because of the actions of the PCs -- that he has been a good neighbor until they came along and caused problems, and if they will just turn over the PCs for punishment things can go back to normal. -rg [/QUOTE]
