Slowly but surely, in every fight, they're taking a bit of damage. 4e is great for letting them go on dungeon crawls or extended fights, taking on foes over a long period of time before facing a harder encounter at the end. So my advice is this - don't worry if each fight seems fairly easy for them. Just keep them fighting on and after three or four encounters you'll find that suddenly they're running out of healing surges and daily powers. THAT'S when the paranoia and worry starts to set in, and when the players start feeling afraid for their lives.Making each encounter harder just means that they'll end up taking extending rests more often, and approaching each fight at full strength. Which is, to my mind, a bit dull.</blockquote>
