This included:1. A fight/escape through a city with about 20 2nd level minions (coming in waves) and 2 real 3rd level guards.2. Ambushed on the edge of a river with 2 3rd level mercs 1 4th level mage 5 1st level goblin minions 1 7th level cave troll. 3. Chased down the river by 4 canoes holding: 1 5th level hobgoblin warcaster 3 3rd level Hobgoblin Archers 4 3rd level Hobgoblin soldiers.In addition to the fights there was a good amount of role playing, as they had just saved the lord of the town from being executed, met up with one of his loyal men, and then watched for trouble as the lord went to the graveyard to bid fairwell to his late wife.I wouldn't call combats in 4e "quick" but they are faster then a similar fight in 3e would be (although not as fast as 2e) but one thing I;ve noticed is that the movement and action happening in the fights holds my interest a lot more. Combats are more fun to me, so I don't mind if they linger a bit.</blockquote>
