[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 4490308, member: 31465"] Your ideas are good, HR. I like setting up an ambush. Although i'm hesitant to bring in more than a hobgoblin or two, certainly not a whole encounters worth. Probably none at all. I had sort of the same problem when my players were wiping out areas. The goblins were initially trapped inside Balgron's room (they didn't exit the secret chamber; they were scared and barricaded), and the PCs left the keep and later encountered the Graveyard problem in Winterhaven. Anyway, they were gone a while, so the goblins finally poked around outside, cleaned up the bodies, set some traps (tripwires, bells, etc) and refortified inside Balgron's lair. They didn't contact the hobgoblins at all, maybe out of fear. Hobs are really, really mean to them, and maybe Balgron wanted to handle this "problem" himself and look good. Or, maybe the hobs are contacted after all, make a sweep and don't find anything, and kill a few goblins for wasting their time. [/QUOTE]
