And it depends on how you look at the cone-hatted cultists - either they were spying in town and then went to the dungeon, or vice-versa. The players don't know either way with them.<br /><br />And some of the monsters talk to each other. Or spy on the PCs mauling them, even. It's an intelligence-rich environment!Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-80978337801764151542013-10-01T16:24:53.657-04:002013-10-01T16:24:53.657-04:00Do the monsters send spies to follow the PCs when ...Do the monsters send spies to follow the PCs when they leave the dungeon?b-doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618256665898788769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-72357104825033368922013-10-01T12:47:06.902-04:002013-10-01T12:47:06.902-04:00Yes, for sure.

But mostly, my "restocking" is just changing the key to reflect logical changes - moving up to take control of a cleared room, backing off, setting up guards, sealing doors, etc.<br /><br />In either case I try to make sure it's logical and flows what the events, not from the dice. I respect the die rolls, but they're there to help - the events really determine what "restocking" means.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-81730517848887494002013-10-01T12:34:02.862-04:002013-10-01T12:34:02.862-04:00I think my approach is similar to yours.
