Dealing with my Party

[Balgus]

Damn- those are some damn good tactics Merak. I have actually used something like tripwire above the kobold's heads once. It works wonderfully. PCs, when they see the enemy on the run, will almost without fail, chase after them to finish them off so that they cant warn the others.

I had a session where an orc set off a tripwire himself. He had set the trap to go off 20 ft behind him. He had a lvl of BARB so was outrunning the group. He stopped for a round to catch his breath (or so it seemed) and that was when the players closed in on him. He took off and tripped the wire which activated a log trap that hurled them into a pit.

And they still don't learn. Everytime the last of a group flees, they chase... oh i cant wait til I pull another trap like that...

Thanks! My group both dreads and loves the combats I set up.

Last game, one of my players (one of my DM-mentors) told me that my games always leave him tense. (emphasis his) I love it! And there are still 2 members of the party I haven't killed yet... (evil chuckle)
