[QUOTE="EroGaki, post: 4673886, member: 57909"] Some thoughts: 1. What was the point to all this? What I mean is, why the deuce would you even give the PC's the option of surrender when that seems counter to what the dragon wants, which is from my understanding, to weaken its enemies by killing a few of their members. Why not simply [I]kill [/I]them? If this dragon has been stalking them, then it must know about their connections, resources, etc. Taking their stuff would be a temporary setback, nothing more. So why bother? I ask this because it seems to me that this dragon, who you insist is intelligent ( an intelligent white? Weird), was acting very unintelligent. Which brings me to my next thought: 2. You can harp all you want with the "[I]I [/I]wasn't taking their goodies away, my [I]character [/I]was" stuff until all twelve moons sink into the abyss, but the fact of the matter is that [I]you [/I]made the choice to try and nerf them in order to advance a plot. And frankly, seeing that the dragon wants the adventures dead, that choice seems rather out of character. The dragon had nothing to gain from letting them live, and everything to lose by it, seeing as most dragons in the Eberron setting see humanoids as inferior, untrustworthy creatures not worthy of being part of the prophecy. From what I gathered, the dragon attacked them to "get them out of the picture," as you put it in your first post, then it suddenly decides "You puny fools are not responsible for the death of my friend. You may live. But you dared attack me, so you will pay as tribute to me everything you own, then you will leave Sharn forever." Rather strange for the dragon to suddenly change its mind, or maybe it is simply wishy-washy. It seems to me that the PC's weren't acting out of character, you were. And when the PC's spat in your face... I'm sorry, the dragons face, they paid for it. What's worse, you put them in such a silly situation in the first place, by trying to railroad them into running away from your ambush rather then face it. The PC's are penalized because they defended themselves from the dragon instead of fleeing? Wow. [/QUOTE]
