[QUOTE="PaulSC, post: 1352890, member: 16341"] Here's the tactical setup I want: I want the party to face off against the evil heroes in a grand battle. I'd like the party to know the battle is coming the following day (so they can prepare spells, etc). Then I'd like there to be a fixed number of rounds for buffing (for both sides) before the melee ensues. The party is about 7th level. The question is: how do I arrange such an encounter without too much artificiality? I have a fairly well estalished route to get the fore-knowledge of the fight (a vision/sending of the forthcoming encounter). But a way to have the parties become aware of each other but unable to do anything other than prepare is trickier. I'm thinking something what was done for the ending of Episode 1 with the periodic force fields. But that doesn't translate very well to a mid-level D&D campaign. Any thoughts or suggestions? - Paul San Clemente [/QUOTE]
