[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 1588809, member: 1135"] Another solution might be (although some players will hate you for that) to let them run into a "dreammaster" (or something like that) I.e. some powerful being that doesn't kill them but puts them into a dreamworld that they THINK is the real one. This way he (and whoever is able to peek into this "dimension") can study the tactics of the PCs and prepare for them once they escape from this dimension (which should be a matter of time anyway) This way he might even be able to test some plans that he isn't sure of if they would work the way he planned. Anyway, once the party escapes this trap (somewhen they should be able to figure out they're not in the real world and escaping should be possible for a detemined party of that level) they see that although they had quite some time fighting evil apparently no (or not as much) time has passed in "the real world" and some things they "knew" would happen would now work out different (because they already pointed out the weakness of these plans) [/QUOTE]
