[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5063597, member: 54846"] It was partially a quest that had consumed the majority of the game thusfar, it was our first session back from a month Hiatus, and there were things that we just wanted to Get To. Besides, I'd been building up to this, and then it went sideways. I wanted to move the campaign along. Besides I have the feeling they would have went down in a blaze of "Not gunna surrender!" The player whose quest this was commented, "Well, while this turned out less satisfying, it really was the best end-result for everyone involved". He didn't really want to slay the dragon/anyone else, he just wanted to retrieve something the Dragon/Tiamat guys had took. It also let me demonstrate some of the plot/story elements, like the Dragon's discomfort/dislike of the Tiamat guys, the purpose of the item's stolen nature (since it's very relevant to the metaplot), drop a little bit of information about things to come, and lets me return the Tiamat guys at a later date because the paladin wants to put his sword into their faces. Either way, I made my call, and now I have to live with it, and move on. Now I want to hear about you guys. :) [/QUOTE]
