[QUOTE="LEHaskell, post: 4112471, member: 30244"] One suggestion I would make for such a situation: if having three corrupt guards would be unlikely, then the DC should increase for each successive check. This might have the added benefit of discouraging "Me too!" checks from the players, giving them a reason to find their own solutions or to contribute their own skills to if they want to work together. A question that occurred to me for those that ran or played the Escape from Sembia adventure. What were the consequences of FAILING the entire skill challenge? Because the party could split up, it seems narratively odd if the party's failure resulted in everyone being captured -- even the guy who made no failures. For example, the guy hiding in the shadows succeeds handily, but the guy running over the rooftops fails every attempt, causing the party to fail. Presumably, the result, success or failure, should impact the entire party in the same way, reuniting them. So, was everyone captured? Or was there some other penalty for failure? [/QUOTE]
