[QUOTE="twilsemail, post: 5166523, member: 79628"] When presented with an unwinnable situation I often have my monsters leave the field. It might be worthwhile to have yours do the same. Perhaps alert the rest of the crawl that the PCs have this thing that makes a hole in the wall and how they're using it. Remember that it's just 1/day, you should be able to get around them using it in an encounter. Maybe have an NPC have heard of the thing and just paint over the door/coat it in mud/put a table in front of it. It removes the advantage of the PCs seeing out. Have the baddies start bricking them in? Start a fire just outside the door. Have a Lurker follow them in and open the door when they aren't expecting. Phasing monsters. Note: some of the things you list are pretty much exactly what the knife is for. If the PCs are taking their extended rest in a secure area, well, that's just good planning on their part. If the PCs are using the knife in the middle of a fight, that's a bit worse. [/QUOTE]
