[quote=@VKAllen] I think in a D&D Play by Post scenario, you cannot control the NPC characters as the GM would know how they would react to it. This is the method I used when I DM'd a campaign previously. [/quote] I'll delete the bit about the NPC, sorry about that! Deleted -------As the guards shouted in protest and paced menacingly with swords drawn toward Tarhun, the frail human walked towards the table, and a pile of items that sat beside it. He grabbed for a bag of black dust that had set in a dark corner away from the table, just behind the pile of items.
