[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 4599380, member: 203"] Well I feel my group reach a moment of catharsis last session. They ran from a fight. They have never ran from a fight before. Ever. In 3 years of playing every week they have always stood toe to tow with everything I have put before them confident they will win. I finally, after dropping numerous hints and even having NPCs outright tell them the area they were in was really dangerous, out them up against a group of monsters they couldn't beat. And they ran. They ran as far and as long as they could. SO I let them go (after the Orc Wizard blasted them a couple of times with some long range magic). It felt great. They were a little disheartened but overall relieved and they [i]still had fun[/i]. I think that was a shock for most of them. To flee and still find the session rewarding. Failure does not have to mean complete party death. [/QUOTE]
