[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4550747, member: 1956"] Thank you guys for comments. Well, the dungeon is composed of a big tower and underground area. And the only physical entrance is on the top of the tower. So, when delving the upper tower part, PCs were using fly and similar spells every day and going back to a camp site they made few miles away from the tower. But now they are in the underground dungeon area which is 100 foot down even from the lowest level of the tower. So, when their resources of the day are scarce, it is rather hard for them to climb up the entire tower again and then use flying spells and travel back to the camp site. It takes much time and resources (spell slots). So they have decided to use the friendly creature race's lair as their haven. They are attacked by that ninja once. So the party sorcerer is always casting See Invisibility on her when see is awake. So, if the Ninja attack happens when the sorceress is standing as a watch, she can see the ninja. I will roll randomly when the attack happens. So depending on their watch rotation, the ninja may fail in surprising the party. And the party has 2 clerics. If one is awake when a comrade is suddenly slain, they can cast Gentle Repose or Revivify immediately. Even if not, I will let all the PCs make listen check with -10 penalty for sleeping (DC 0?). So, if one can awake and cast such spells in their first turn, the victim will not lose one's XP. All the PCs has some means of see ethereal thing at least temporary, say, See Invisibility, Invisibility Purge or Potion of See Invisibility. So once they noticed that they are under attack, they will react soon. Still, maybe I should warn the possibility of such attacks somehow. No one in my play group played Ninja as a PC as it has very limited resources per day. So no one (including myself) ever researched fully what a high level Ninja can and cannot. [/QUOTE]
