Very long fights usually only happen in unusual circumstances, typically when neither side can engage each other at optimim range or when both sides' most potent attack capabilities are otherwise inhibited.My longest fight ever, @30 rounds, was in a solid fog spell inside a warehouse. (This was a Living City Adventure that I DMed). The PCs and their foes were forced to close range at about 3' per round. Missile fire and magic attacks were near impossible due to line of sight problems. I think it took 10 rounds before the PCs and their foes got into melee with each other. My second longest fight was about 20-25 rounds, this one was on a ship. The ranges were so extreme that we were using missile fire and VERY long rang spells for quite some time before both ships caught on fire and began to sink. The longest 3e fight I have been in was about 15 rounds, when we were facing some babau demons. Once we started kicking their ass in melee, they fled up some redwood trees. Most of us were in heavy armor and weren't willing to remove it to climb trees after them. The elf in light armor could've climbed easily but he didn't want to face the demons alone in the trees. (To top it all off, we were in a forest which was dry due to an autumn drought so we couldn't risk burning them out (and they are resistant to fire). Tzarevitch</blockquote>
