To put it simply, when trying to escape the evil mage's dungeon iwhile he is distracted by assassins assaulting inside his complex and after ourselves slaughtering dozens of his goblins buddies... no face-to-face party of mine would ever consider bedding down in his lab for 8 hours. We would be certain this would casue the invasion to be over, the dead orcs to be found and us to probably wake up back in our cells.In BG2, its expected.Do not take your PC game rest experiences and view them as relevent to a face to face game.</blockquote>
