For instance, they once killed an elf in my darksun campaign, two sessions later they were at the oasis ran by the elves (forgot the name) and they were bragging about the kill, an elf merchant heard them (they were talking about it near his tent), and as they entered his tent to bargain for goods, the elf refused to sale them anything. Later they found out, the elf they killed was the son of a friend of his, if they would have spared the young elf, instead of killing it to keep his goods, they could have won a free survival day, given to them by the same merchant.Victor Hurtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254075841373767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-37210275932112897382010-12-08T22:33:03.148-08:002010-12-08T22:33:03.148-08:00Many groups would just kill the gnome, or interrog...Many groups would just kill the gnome, or interrogate him and then kill him, or pay him and kill him later.

When they did "intimidate" I was surprised to find that the PCs can intimidate a bloodied foe into surrendering. While I've never seen anyone do this (PCs or monsters), it would be interesting to try.Brianhttp://www.rovingbandofmisfits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-81545713244838478302010-12-08T19:36:51.788-08:002010-12-08T19:36:51.788-08:00ive had monsters that surrender and monsters that ...ive had monsters that surrender and monsters that try to trick the heroes they want to surrender to back-stab them. When Scepter Tower of Spellgard adventure came out i ran it for my players and in one occasion, two of my players decided to climb the tower instead of going through the long, underground, and most likely deadly entrance. As they climbed one of the gnome enemies and his ettercaps assaulted them from the top of the tower, the ranger managed to knock him over with a ranged critical and they decided to keep the gnome alive for interrogation. Surprisingly enough the gnome was very cooperative, the players even offered him good gold if he helped them to go inside, he accepted and "G", as they called the gnome, became their companion (They had to toss a few coins though, depending if the mission they had to do was too dangerous for him).Victor Hurtadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254075841373767921noreply@blogger.com
