(and this is about as far as i've got so far) one would be in a position in the open that the rogue would have to sneak to.  One could require a strength feat for the fighter... dunno.I think there is still room for more "things" to be involved in this scenario though so any other ideas, from any one, i'd still like to hear.I was also thinking of a dark room full of spikes trap as a lead in to this encounter.  The PCs will find a piece of skin with a zigzaging line drawn on it, on the body of a recently defeated mini boss.  Later when trying to find a way out they find a room magically darkened.  Stepping too far into the room springs a trap for modest damage. To get through the PCs have to figure out which way is up on the zigzag skin.  This will also have to be disabled to let the refugees through safely afterwards.</blockquote>
