[QUOTE="Steveyd, post: 4404892, member: 61233"] Actually had this exact situation come up last night. We had gotten the correct password from Ninaren and gave it to the hobgoblins we came across. After receiving the right password the hobgoblins were just confused; they kind of looked to each other to try and figure out what to do about this. They offered to escort us back up above while they sent a message below. We used the opportunity to ambush our escorts and then take our the messenger before he got too far. The fight itself was fun, but it would have been more rewarding and satisfying I think to be have gotten past it without fighting because of the effort we had taken to get the right password. It was also a pretty brutal fight since those hobgoblins are pretty tough. After getting past the trap room (taking more damage...) and fighting that room full of undead we are all but out of resources. Two characters, the paladin and wizard, have no healing surges left and we have 2 encounters ahead of us still. Most of our daily powers are left still but we have to decide to either go on and likely die bravely but in vain trying to save the day, or go rest and face the consequences of the bad guys having 6 hours to prepare or come find us. If we had bypassed the fight we'd be in much better shape. I'm with Plane Sailing on this one. [/QUOTE]
