    So true.

    I once put a kind older woman NPC in a cabin as a rest spot for our party. She was very confused by the party spending their entire battery of anti-trap techniques.

    I finally broke and just told the party, “as gamemaster, there’s nothing here, really. Please take your long rest and get your zone-of-truth and ward against evil back, you’re going to need them, but this isn’t when.”

      Oh, and that is totally a thing that can happen!

      I’m so glad that you told them.

      This is a little bit of a different situation…

      The first villain was an elegant vampire. The second building is a cross between Pennywise, Jeffrey Dahmer in the skin, some murderer from the first pathfinder adventure path.

      But I really appreciate your attitude! Yeah, as both a forever player in the forever game master in two different groups, I have been guilty of that definitely.

      The struggle is real.

      🙏❤️
