[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 1463649, member: 17086"] A party has been indiscriminately killing off innocents for sometime. They arrive in a new town and discover no-one trusts them, no-one will trade with them, no-one will provide food, shelter or information. Indeed, mis-information is probably the best tool available to the commoner. "Yes I've heard of the tomb of the orc king. It's meant to be in a valley further up the river" (which happens to be home to an ancient, grumpy red dragon but, oh dear, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that). Or "There is an island in the middle of the Deathwater Marshes that is meant to be the home of the Archmage" (or so I imagine). The party will become very frustrated with all the time wasted, deadly encounters they seem to keep having and will come to distrust everything said to them. Then the DM then starts playing with them by dropping a truth amongst the lies which the party will ignore, only to hear later that it was true. And while this happens, the Clerics of Justice gather a posse and begin to track those evil doers down. [/QUOTE]
