Totally agree. Good points all. :)<div><br></div><div>I got the impression, though, that Harry's players crossed the bridge, killed the guards, then went back for their gear. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 10:09 AM, Tal Meta <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:talmeta@talmeta.net">talmeta@talmeta.net</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Imagine yourself in the position of the guards for a moment.<br>
<br>
Okay, monks. See those all the time. Probably let them pass without harassment, as they are poor and presumably do good works of one sort or another.<br>
<br>
But here comes a MAMMOTH. Don't see those everyday. What are monks doing with a mammoth? Questions now arise. Before they even try to cross this rickety bridge, any guard who expects to retire is going to stop these people before they wreck his bridge. Since this is such an odd occurrence, what exactly is in those wagons, anyway? They'll need to be searched. Bribes may have to be paid, since suddenly these monks seem to have the means to pay, unlike the last 200 who came by.<br>
<br>
And hey, didn't that trader who came through here last week say something about a group of ne'er-do-well adventurers, who also had a mammoth, who were talking loudly in the inn he stayed at about how they never paid taxes, and went about looting the tombs of ancient kings and whatnot?<br>
<br>
Wasn't the wife saying that her sister from Farshire said that her husband was murdered in a bar fight by some yahoo that owned a mammoth? How many of these things could there be in the Kingdom, I wonder...<div><div>
