As a DM, the number of encounters my players face is mostly in my hands. In some cases they could run for their lives after one fight, but that would probably spell partial or complete failure in their mission. Players usually don't like failing, so they will push on to the limit of their abilities. I know what their resources are. I know how fast or slowly I can deplete them with encounters. So it's all a matter of adventure design really. With a mix of encounters from level-2 to level+2, 5-6 encounters in a day is quite doable. I leave the level+3 encounters for the few climactic battles since they can be time consuming and resource draining.</blockquote>
