[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5711336, member: 67338"] ok, so first to all of you that think this was a rail road... why would I let them avoid 2 encounters (one of witch was suppose to lead to a major event) if I was railroading? the spirits of the land I had to go out of game for becuse none of them where at all on the same page as me... so I had to clarafy. More info: She appear as a beutifal half elf dressed in skimpy silk cloths but with eladrin eyes. She spoke sweetly and quitely but her voice carried. She had no weapons and introduced her self as one of the last of the ture sand spirits. When they asked to make insight rolls they identfiyed she was not aggressive or a threat. When they rolled arcane they figured out she was similar to a nymph or dryad but for sand. She offered help and information and got an intimadate check and a gun (we have house rule flint locks) waved at her. when she said she could sense true heroes in them and they would not shoot her other party memebers pulled out guns and bows and sai "wanna bet" when the fight with the corrupted spirits started I described them as looking like pale versions of her with purple vains running threw them and mind flyer fingers, I then told them OBVIUSLY curropted spirits form the cysts you saw before. round 1 of the fight went fine with them attacking the corrupted ones and her helping BUT round 2 begain with a PC shooting her and them all saying she was there leader. I said "Wait...there is no reason to asume that" when I then added "She is the last NOT CORRUPT one" they all looked around and talked out of game for amoment. _____________________________ also FYI they have made allies to fight Kingdom (my BBEG) every where they go. about half of my races are good and want to help, a quater are neutral and afraid (but can be convinced) and a quater are evil and very hard to deal with. the only sides they can not expect to talk to are 1) Kingdom and the far realm forces he controls, 2) the Undead, 3) the demon worshiping chaotic evil gnolls who hate all life but there own. ___________________ one of the compaints I got for tuesday night was "You didn't come prepared, there was nothing but fights, no rp" a second compaint I got was "The dragon was too powerful, it must have been more the 5 or 6 levels above the party" and a third one was "There was no way to stop the cycst, or make any allies this time...this was too hard, why was everything a fight" [/QUOTE]
