[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7479316, member: 17607"] That was pretty funny, I have to admit. In reality, though, we covered the exact scenario in our game last night. The party decided to Rope Trick short rest after the first room of the dungeon, after fighting just two tiefling guards. (We're playing "Three Faces of Evil" from the Age of Worms adventure path.) First, we had a civil discussion of what it means to have the 'window' that the PCs can see out of be 'centered on the rope' if the rope has been pulled into the extradimensional space. We decided that the 'window' is fixed in the same location, centered on the space where the rope entered the extradimensional space, even if the rope isn't outside the space anymore. (Other options: the 'window' closes when the rope is pulled into the space, the 'window' remains open and remains centered on the rope, even if the rope is moved within the space. Complicating matters is that the spell is silent on what happens to the rope once it is pulled into the space (is one end still fixed to a given point in the space?), and there is no explicit definition of how large the space is, only how many creatures it can hold.) The two backup guards came out ten minutes after the party entered the rope trick, examined the area, and pulled their dead colleagues into the temple. They then remained out of sight for roughly 40 minutes -- they were reporting to the priest of Hextor, who deduced that the party was likely hiding out in a rope trick, as the only other exit from the dungeon was to climb up a 200-foot length of chain, but decided that it wasn't worth expending the resources to expose them, preferring to send his tieflings out into the chamber to report when the party emerged from the rope trick so that he could release the temple's giant boar against them. It might have been fun to send the high priest out into the chamber to dispel the rope trick, but he's a smart guy and would rather face the party on the ground he'd already prepared for their encounter. There's basically zero chance, though, that the party was going to take that temple by surprise. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
