[QUOTE="Treantmonklvl20, post: 7476216, member: 55582"] I guess my first comment would be, "ambushed?" I would think the last thought before leaving the Rope Trick would be[URL="https://giphy.com/gifs/starz-reaction-FqeFrKjxruhTEr3R1x/fullscreen"] this.[/URL] My second comment would be, if the party is unobserved entering the Rope Trick, and pulls the rope in after they've entered, then even if the enemy figures out what happened, you don't just see an invisible extradimensional space. There are ways to find it, but specific tools are needed, like a see invisibility or truesight ability. A fair number of enemies will not have access to some tools. My final comment would be that the DM's job is to play the enemies appropriately without metagaming. The party should be able to evaluate the enemy. Is the enemy actively pursuing us? Is it reasonable they know what a Rope Trick spell is? How much can they narrow down where we used it? Do they have the means to locate it's exact position? If the answer to all those questions is yes, then having the enemy waiting for you is completely appropriate. If not, then the DM should have a good reason why the enemy happened to be waiting for you there. That's the DM's job. [/QUOTE]
