Time pressure is your friend. they can only hole up in a rope trick for 8 hours if their goal will not evaporate by then. A static dungeon challenge might be fine for low levelk guys, but a reactive and fluid one is better for higher level guys. 2. getting there is your friend. Script scenarios which require magic to be expended just to get there. Crossing a river and climbing hills are challenges for low level guys, but those challenges are nothing for high level guys. instead they should need teleport without errors to get into the compound, plane shift to get to the effreeti's lair, maybe some resist elements to survive for a while, etc. 3. The enemy's lair and setup should be much more magical and inexpected and require time and effort on its own. Again,m this is primarily to sap their capabilities, but it can also give them challenges. imagine a fortress built for creatures who can all walk on walls, for instance... no stairs, no reall difference between cieling and floor for setup, etc.4. of course, intelligent enemies will have intelligent setups. Slaadi sweeper teams with someone rtunning see invis makes sense, albeit maybe a little too organized for chaotic varmints. 5. finally, remember cr are guidelines. Play should tell you whether you need to up them or not. if your guys balk at having an 18 cr dragon go against their 13th level guys, the response of "but you toasted two 14s last week without breaking a sweat" is fair.</blockquote>
