[QUOTE="!DWolf, post: 8389286, member: 7026314"] Exactly this! What happens when after defeating the giant spider, you say to the players: you hear the sounds of many, small feet coming from the corridor to the north! After attempting to identify what exactly what is approaching via the sound of footfalls alone (and failing), do you:[List=a] [*] Immediately rush to the entrance of the north corridor to set up a choke point, even though you’re wounded a superior position may be able to overcome it. You also yell down the south corridor for your men (who have emergency healing supplies) to move up so they can give them to you. [*] Retreat down the south corridor to the last room you cleared where your men are waiting to close and barricade the door behind you and help you with the emergency healing supplies. You leave the wizards rat familiar to observe what is coming. [*] Get out your ranged weapons and move to the entrance of the south corridor, then have the wizard cast a crowd control spell on them so you can pick them off at range. If things go bad you can retreat down the south corridor. [*] Have the wizard cast ghost sounds and his illusion spells to make it look like the party is something whatever is coming doesn’t want to handle and trick them into retreating. [*] do something completely different![/list] For me complex decision making situations like this are what I love about role playing games, and that pf2e makes these situations possible, both in and out of combat, is a big reason that I like it so much.
