[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8103024, member: 42040"] Yes, and that's how I'm going to handle it at the (virtual) table. They're going to go back to the same encounter, one level higher and with a bonus Hero Point (I hope that's enough), with the same characters to try again. Future encounters can be tweaked, but they want to see (from a purely academic perspective) if they can beat the encounter as it was presented if they have an extra edge and knowledge of the hazard. Considering the recommendation of a Stealth approach, I did describe the temple as having exterior walls that could be climbed and hinted that they could approach in a more favorable method than attacking the front gates.
