I was talking about it on another forum, so I thought I would share it here as well.Essentially, the PC's were winding up a steep cliff-side path to a tower carved into the cliffs above. They were going up to see if a friend of theirs was indeed imprisoned within (a PC who had to miss the game). From the tower, a devil (with ties to what will be a major villain) began kicking off his undead slaves from a balcony down onto the ascending PC's. To top it off, he was shoving (stabbing) sharpened metal sticks of explosives into them before sending them over.Various points on the path had cover from above so you could avoid any falling slave damage (if one fell on you it HURT), but then they would explode within a round or so. Some were able to stand and advance towards nearby players before detonating. However, some explosives were duds as well, so instead of exploding, the undead slave remained standing and fought them on the path.The devil had a -2 attack vs their REF if they moved 5 or more squares. If they moved 2-4, he had his regular attack bonus, and if they only moved 1 (shifted) he had a +2. Of course the path had difficult terrain for steep portions, but there were also points along the way where a PC with a a good Athletics could quickly climb to the next path level, etc.Anyway, it was fun and I just thought I would share.Feel free to share any really fun encounters you have had recently. Doesn't have to be the most dynamic, or have had the best terrain or hazards, as long as it was really fun for both DM and Players <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
