My players "short-circuited" the entire All the World's Meat adventure last night.
They scouted the shop during the day, then returned at night to climb up the roof, quietly open a window to Vanik's room, then knock him out (coup de grace) with a blackjack. With the henchmen's Wis of 9 and Vanik's Wis at 8, they failed their listen checks. Vanik was caught asleep and the henchmen were in the next room playing cards and never heard a thing.
They were very proud that they could get something like this accomplished without having the knock-down-drag out fight.
I like it when my players take unusual approach to a job and succeed in pulling it off. They felt very clever of themselves and I like it when they feel clever. :)

Hehe my group has declared ourselves to be Korvosa's new 'secret police' (something we frequently yell at people all the time to get them to move out of our way). Our method for the perfume shop was to throw a few smokesticks and thunderstones into the shop to clear it, then bust in after most of the people evacuated, yelling "Secret Police! This is a raid!"
That's so far how we've been solving most of our problems lately =p. The guard looks on it as a humorous way to get the job done, though the Grey Maidens don't seem to like us much.
Awesomely done Bento. I love it when players go for another resolution than beat 'em up.

That's classic!

Make them get police dogs. Secret police dogs! (Poodles, chihuahuas, that sort of thing).
By announcing themselves as Secret Police arent they, by definition, not secret anymore?
That's the funny part.

I play PbP, so the outcomes of things are a bit slower..However, one of the players in disguise just asked the front room guys to "roll" Verik..
(Three players walked into the shop after the bard and wizard made it look like there were maggots in the meat and cleared the place, and the priest of Calistria disguised them all. The other two are waiting to rush in as spell-casting reserve)

Krenshar. For the intimidation.
