[QUOTE="chriton227, post: 5929676, member: 33263"] I wouldn't say we decided to storm the beaches of Normandy, the situation was much more akin to the DM saying "you are in an otherwise empty fluorescent orange rowboat 500 yards from the beaches of Normandy. There is only the 5 of you, you have no support, there are no other boats. Your boat has a searchlight you can't turn off, the Germans all have night vision cybereyes, so they have already seen you. You only speak English, no one on shore speaks anything but German. The current is carrying you to shore, if you are lucky you might be able to choose what stretch of beach you land on. Good luck." We were literally started 30 feet from the shrubs in the valley, with the kobolds having already seen us. We got to make perception checks to see if we were surprised. About the only choice we had was which kobold to attack first, and since we couldn't kill them all the only way to avoid the dogpile was to go home. Had we gone into any other cave, I have no doubt we would have then been fighting all the occupants of the other cave in addition to a horde of kobolds following in behind us. I think the DM assumed that the caves would be balanced against the strength of the party, and having never played DDN he couldn't judge how badly that setup was going to overwhelm the party.
