[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7556041, member: 58197"] I had the party infiltrating a fort. They entered through a secret tunnel and found three guards at the other end. The guards were just ordinary bandits; but if they weren't silenced in the first round, they would raise the alarm, and other bandits would come running within a few rounds. (The PCs failed to silence the bandits, chased them as they fled, and ran into a whole bunch more bandits, a la Han Solo chasing stormtroopers. Except that unlike Han Solo, rather than turn around and run back, they stood there and slugged it out with the bandit leader in the doorway--who was being healed by a cleric in the back--while eating volleys of crossbow bolts from the entire room for several rounds. They could not have put themselves in a worse tactical position if they'd tried. I was starting to wonder if the first adventure of the campaign was going to end in TPK when they finally saw sense, pulled back, and devised a sane plan.) [/QUOTE]
