My group recently dived right into this book real easy when I told them about how the beast was on trial and was going to be put to the fire. Eventually, they got the idea of disguising one of them into the Beast himself and running amok the town proving that it couldn't have been the beast since there's another one out there. I know by RAW, they'll really need Polymorph Any Object to really do this, but they are really stuck to the idea of doing this and I can't really talk them out of it.
I have no idea how to respond to this, either positively or negatively. I know the people should know there's only one known Beast out there, so I think it shouldn't effect the trial at all, but I just don't want to smack my players in the face for thinking outside the box. Any ideas anyone?
