So I asked him what he was going to do. He said "I'm hugging it".

When I first read that I thought it was a purposeful choice to maybe try take out the flame devil (with the force of the blast not the heat).

It wasn't that bad, it's just stupid as hell.

We should start a similar thread but for stupid deaths? :-)

I once had a group of PCs fighting a powerful opponent while standing in a watery area that was just above their ankles. The mage in the group had the wonderful idea of freezing the water. Enough said. He trapped the entire party as no-one had the strength to break free of the solid ice while their enemy just ripped his own feet free. (Though I do think they managed to win in the end.)

The second I had was not so much stupid as just funny. The PCs came to a river and began to rest and drink from it. While they were doing this one of the players, a Kender, whispered something in my ear. I then began to explain to the rest that the water had a peculiar taste to it which they could not quite pin down. They immediately without second thought decided the water was magical and some began drinking as much as they could while another PC began bottling the stuff. I then proceeded to tell them that they hear laughing from up stream and in turn see the kender urinating in the river. Not exactly the cleanest joke but it was awesomely funny at the time.

So what do I do if players rabbit trail? Simply say: "Sorry. This is FPS play. Not allowed." Or do players come in knowing that they will be confined by the scenario?

EDIT: The scenarios I picked were -

#7-14: Faithless and Forgotten, Part 1
#5-02: The Wardstone Patrol
#6-22: Out of Anarchy

(They seemed interesting and came recommended - though I wont get to see them until he adds them to me - and the descriptions on the season scenarios doesn't seem to give that much info...)

This is one of my favorite scenarios and I've run it several times. If you run into any questions prepping it, feel free to shoot me a PM or ask your question in this thread.

Thanks Walter. I'm still waiting on the VC to get the modules assigned. Once he does, if I have any problems or need some pointers I'll be sure to ask. :-)

On a side note, do you know what's the hardest part of cooking a vegetable? Fitting the golden throne in the oven!
