One thing I've never really gotten the hang of as a DM is whenever the rogue in the party sneaks ahead of the group. The particular problem that keeps cropping up is the way the rest of the players are left standing and are more or less just waiting for the rogue to return before they can go on.
I've recently had this happen in two separate groups (3.5E) and I don't really know how to approach it when next it comes up. I don't want to disallow a viable tactic just because the other characters aren't able to keep up, but I also don't want to halt the game for the majority of the group for a (possibly) extended period of time.
What are your experiences with these sort of situations? How are they usually dealt with in your groups? I'm looking for all the help I can get on this topic.
