I see you have made it past all of my minions and managed to make it to my personal quarters. To be fair, I feel that I must warn you....when we begin combat, I will most likely start off by casting Finger of Death followed by Disintegrate. If you are not ready for that, you may wish to step out of the room, better prepare your defenses, and confront me when you feel confident enough to fight." No wonder my newer players complain when I hit them with encounters that they aren't prepared for or can't defeat in a straight fight.This logic must work in RL too. If a guy at the bar is about to pound you for staring at his girlfriend, make sure to ask him if he's trained in martial arts or a professional boxer so you know if you should fight or not.</blockquote>
