Even though WoTC abolished spell memorization, the healing surge mechanic even more firmly reinforces the X minute adventuring day than the previous editions. With those editions, you could "cheat" your way past the resources exhausted stage using healing potions and scrolls/wands for the casters. "Out of healing surges" is an absolute end that cannot be cheated past. If you continue to take damage after this point... well, its soon goodbye party!So, having put them in this situation, you have to give them some means to spend a night; 4E characters need their long rest! <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=";)" /> <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=";)" /> Or you make all the remaining encounters up to the next true long rest cakewalks. Those can be fun too, allowing the players to show off and feel real powerful...</blockquote>
