[QUOTE="RuminDange, post: 2301912, member: 5412"] Interesting questions as similar things have happened in my games. Actually expecting the return of a player in a few months that had to quit a year and half ago. Lucky nothing as of yet has changed with his characters. Now about your question. This makes me think of a question in return. I know you said they were in a hurry to leave the mindflayer prison, but can you honestly say that is this had happened to a PC who was present the first thing they would want to do is recover their items? I know my would go to get length to recover what was theirs even if it wasn't magical, it's a personal thing, and here you have items that were made special/unique by the character in question. Hurry or not I think the player had he been present would have been screaming to get his items back before moving on. However this sounds like a typical meta-game thought a few of my players have once in a while... "It's just an NPC, no big deal, move on" (I really am working to break them of that :] ). So if that is case, I probably figure that they could have or should have somehow recovered his items on the way out. Or if he agreed as did the other players maybe make it a side venture for them to return and get them upon his return. RD [/QUOTE]
