[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7083290, member: 6801845"] You mean other DMs don't just have a sign on the dungeon door? [ATTACH=CONFIG]83375._xfImport[/ATTACH] But seriously, in addition to the other advice, give PCs a chance to run away. Describe higher level humanoids as professional veterans with well maintained armor and a dangerous air. Let them know they just caught a glimpse of Tim the Wizard, a well known and highly dangerous man that they are not ready to face. Have a bear show up across a meadow only to have a bullette leap out of the ground to devour it whole. And of course there's always the "they get captured and now have to escape" trope. Maybe they're being transported to the jail and unexpected ally pops in or there's an attack from a different faction giving them an opportunity to escape. There are all sorts of options. Including letting them get in over their heads. [/QUOTE]
