[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6314250, member: 61026"] I believe we were trying to finish the current battle. Apparently we don't know how. Aeiyan suggested moving boulders aside as a way to cut off the side passages of the maze, thereby making the ghouls more accessible. He also tried to draw their aggravation by flipping the slab. Bartleby strode forth and called for them to come at him. Tock slashed or stabbed at the bone thrones in an attempt to draw their ire. Several players took the initiative to roll for Initiative again, thinking that might help. Let me attempt some humor here: How can our PCs engage two ghouls that can evade them so easily? Quote Monty Python at them? Taunt their pride? Insult their mothers? Charge back into the maze separately, yelling "Leroy Jenkins?" Pretend to take a nap? Give them a piece of string to play with? Offer them gold? Desecrate something they hold sacred? Find the hidden button and press it firmly? Retrieve the corpses they had been feeding on, dragging the corpses into the open? Light a torch and threaten to burn the (disturbed) bone seats they had built? Dance the Macarena? (That one might work! It's disturbing enough.) Maybe yell, "Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! AAoOWooO! Hey there Little Red Riding Hood, you sure are. . . ." (OK, I'll stop.) :) [/QUOTE]
