| If you're looking for ways to show that opponents are way more powerful than the players here's something that happened to a party of mine.
Our party had accidentally entered some kind of fey circle. My GM said we heard giggling and could see shapes darting from boulder to tree around us (we were in the middle of the forest). They told us to wait there for the Grueselug, then shot a bunch of small darts at us each of which skimmed the players narrowly missing clearly on purpose. My character still tried to leave the circle and in the round I tried to move out I got shot for over half my hp. I still couldn't see my attackers and the GM made it clear that only a few darts were shot compared to before. Needless to say I turned around and walked back quietly then sat down and waited for the big G.
Rewarding players after these challenges with treasure or gold is also a good way to reinforce that doing skill challenges is a good thing.
