Message: <blockquote data-quote="GMforPowergamers" data-source="post: 5710813" data-attributes="member: 67338">ok, so tuesday night I had a full break down of D&D...The PCs are on a quest to gain 5 magic crystals to defeat my BBEG. The are in the dessert of crystal 4. I have 4 encounters planed.encounter 1- a cyst that formed from the far realm, it is corrupting the land. the PCs quickly decide to just avoid it and there is nothing they can do.encounter 2-this was an rp encounter, and the PCs would make a new ally. as the PCs are setting up camp they see 4 dromites ridding 2 bullets. They decide to hide. When I point out they never do that, I was told they wanted to try. So they all make awsome rolls. encounter 3- a skill challange and combat togather...a spirit of the land wants to ask for help, and as she is there curropted by the cycst spirits attack them both.But the PCs didn;t trust here and kept threatning her and pulled weapons, and until I stop the game thought she was a bad guy setting them up.So I had to go out of game and say "Guys, she is one of the last not corrupted" before they got it.  after that fight they ask her about the crystal. She tells them that in the center of the dessert is a city that was ruined by an evil adamantine dragon that now claims the citu. Under the city is a series of caves in those caves is the crystal.so they go to the city... and expect an extended rest...but run into a dragon (yea big suprise) The PCs assumed the dragon would be the end boss of the caves, even though I told them it was in the city...then a PC died in the fight. Now the PCs say it is the worst game they ever played. I am not even sure what I did wrong. I let them avoid 2 encounters becuse they chose to, I stoped the game to explain the problem with there paranoid thoughts on the 3rd...but the 4th was a level +2 solo... and a PC died.what do you think? what did I do wrong, how do I improve?</blockquote>
