Today's #witcher RPG session went in a direction I hadn't expected when we started this story, with our witcher and doctor standing at the front of a church with the village reeve, trying to persuade a crowd of nervous villagers that they should make peace with the troll who lives up in the mountains above their grazing fields.
It really made a nice change from "I hit it with my axe"
My players met with the troll last session and managed to talk to it, rather than just getting into a fight. They learnt its side of the story and said they would talk to the village.
Knowing this, I prepped for this session with an A4 list of 20 villagers, a couple of quick words about their individual concerns (safety, food supplies, trade, etc) so I could have people speak up, but also so I'd know what would convince them.
I've got to admit, that was kind of fun :)
