Bummer you're not enjoying this as much as you thought/hoped.Also, yeah: eight players is probably too many--six is my max, and I consider four or five ideal.Commiseration out of the way, on to plausibly helpful thoughts.First, yeah, you're probably going to need to readjust your attitude, especially if you're not able to alter the BBEG (or don't have the time, or aren't comfortable doing it, or whatever). That BBEG almost certainly isn't built to fight eight characters--more than four, probably--and is going to go down like a soft sack. You might have to give up on the dramatic showdown you were hoping for.It's also sounding as though your players (and/or their characters) are being extraordinarily proactive, here--that might be the only thing you can maybe do anything about. They seem awfully confident in their ability to rest: if they're snug in the Tiny Hut, the combination of Dispel Magic and, well, any AOE attack will serve as one hell of a wake-up call. Doesn't have to be the BBEG, but it'd be a terrifying way for him to say, "Howdy."Much of the rest of what you're less happy about is about interpersonal dynamics at the gaming table, and I don't have as much in the way of advice on that. I will say that published adventures seem ... open, or mabye vulnerable, to murderhobo players, in my experience. There at least don't seem to be as many levers/knobs/dials/switches you can manipulate to make that approach less appealing.Good luck.</blockquote>
