Rather than tip his hand out of game, after a few minutes he put the knife in the hand of a zombie and shambled it out of the kitchen. Players fought it, and found the knife for his story. The GM is responsible for keeping the story on the rails, but not the characters. When the characters go off-track, move the track back to the characters. | |
