Throughout the night, the sounds of distant footsteps (wild animals) wake you, and you swear they are getting closer. The snoring of the Dwarf Paladin keeps you up much of the night, but you leave him be to heal from his wounds from the prior battle. You all awake feeling tired, but you strengthen your resolve and push on''OK guys, the rest you had wasnt quite peaceful enough to 'mechanically' count as a long rest, instead it counts as only a short rest. Who wants to spend any Hit dice to restore HP?'___________'When you all awake, you feel better, but the events of the prior day weight heavily on your minds. This rest only counts as a short rest'___________'During the night your tent collapeses, and you all get soaked. You spend long minutes in the pouring rain setting it back up, and spend a night shivering in the cold damp of your bedrolls. The rest only counts as a short rest'______________(DM rolls some dice, igores the result, and decides to throw a 'random' encounter at the party to spice things up). 'Who's on second watch? Right... make me a Wisdom (perception) check.' (Combat ensues)______________'The BBEGs mocking laughter, and horrible dreams of demons and devils torturing you haunts your sleep (elven trance). Wizard, you detect some kind of strange arcane effect at work here. The rest only counts as a short rest.'(i.e. - Because: Magic - also pushes the PCs towards the BBEG to slay him)________________Seriously, ever been camping? Or in the Army? I can think of a ton of reasons why a 'long rest' in the monster and magic infested wilderness might not be as restful as 8 hours at home in bed!</blockquote>
