Not big on dungeon running, and if I have something I'll more likely use a Five Room Dungeon sort of idea.I explicitly intend to give breaks (and this will be discussed in Session 0). Rest in safety and comfort (like Elrond's) would be at the 8 hours/1 hour normal rate. But also things like finding a magic fountain, etc.On the other hand, one great experience I had was in 4e, where we were stuck on this magic island and were luring an airship closer that was hunting us so we could take it over. We had a usual amount of battles on the king kong sort of island. Then more. We were really scraping the botom of the barrel. Then we had a boss fight level. We survived but were out of everything. Then the DM threw another fight at us after a short rest. We just barely survived, had a short rest. Then the airship showed up and we had to fight them. We had to get super clever and tactical and pull out every single consumable we had, and just had to work it. We ended victorious, but I think with some people unconscious and out of healing surges. So sometimes going way past your comfort zone ends up being epic.</blockquote>
