I had all the wraiths gang up on the rogue at once. Pow--down to 3 hit points in one turn. The cleric healed him, and Turned Undead, but the party could see the wraiths regrouping and straggling back to hit the rogue again. It got tense. Add in a dark creeper who was simultaneously trying to bargain for one of the PCs' possessions and there was plenty to keep it interesting. And that's in a room with no real terrain or items of interest.[spoiler]This was the "Black Shrine" encounter in Scales of War #3, "The Shadow Rift of Umbraforge."[/spoiler]The party ended up fleeing that encounter, although I think they would have won, barely, if they hadn't. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />In general, I've been having the enemy focus fire a lot in this adventure, particularly on the back ranks, and it's been doing wonders for upping the tension. The party as a whole may not be outmatched, but nobody wants to see somebody go down. Combined with the limited healing available during combat, it's been a great series of fights.</blockquote>
