[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3412685, member: 30035"] Aust Diamondew stated my concern better than I did. It's never a good idea to be set on one particular event happening. It will frustrate you and can take options away from your players. I'd also comment that if the Formians are just out to capture people for gladiatorial combats, it doesn't really make sense for them to keep coming back after your party, should the party escape the ambush. Slavers wouldn't keep chasing one particular group of people, unless they've been paid to do so for some other reason. Not to tell you how to run your game, but you might want to consider some other reason for the party to get interested in these slavers and/or what's going on in the neighboring country, other than by having them get captured and sent to the arena themselves.
