So in the game I'm GMing for on Sundays:

This last session, they were looking for a woman and knew the hotel she was staying at. So they went in and said "we need you to let us into this lady's room" without a persuasion roll or anything else, and then drugged and disabled the proprietor when she said no because "she was being a jerk"

Dudes and dudettes, hotel proprieters don't let random strangers into rooms. You are literally the sketchiest group.

So then they went through all of the rooms and are confused because they don't know what room was hers and stuff so I had to make up just... random hotel room shit.

like they went into one and I said "it appears to be unoccupied. The bed is well made and there's soap in the bathroom" and they looked under the bed and stole the soap and think it might be a clue???????
