[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 268009, member: 352"] That's hard to say. You won't be able to set up anything ahead of time, you have to use what's available on the fly. I spoke in generalities, but I'm fairly sure SHARK is well versed/familiar with the old "improvise, adapt, overcome" method of doing things and is much more well-versed in his world than I am! :D Well, yes and no. Use that "overconfidence" against them. Hit and Run with the "cheese" to a trap, then let their epic-level adventurers walk into an epic-level ambush, using your own epic-level forces. Stronghold Builder's Guidebook goes into some detail about magical defenses for fortresses. I figured I leave the details to SHARK.
