If you take out 1 set of monsters, they will be missed (maybe at dinner etc.) And if PCs come again next day they will be prepared4) teleporting in can be easy, teleporting out can be difficult (or vice-versa). Remember: teleport will probably a ritual, so this might be the default case for 4e5) make it clear when hit and run was a good idea and when not6) let monsters do hit and runs on your players7) attack players at extended rests (eventually the set up guards then)8) attack players at short rests (eventually they will setup guards for even 5 min breaks)9) just tell your players that their characters are not tired and just don´t find rest there... (maybe it is too cold/wet etc)10) don´t play with players trying to break the system that hard...</blockquote>
