[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 2167332, member: 9410"] Another good idea is a "Team Competition" Contest, leading up to a group event... The "Team Competition" is a series of challenges, run for multiple teams, all in "safe mode", where the participants can't be harmed... Obstacles include crossing an open pit trap (easy to do, with a plank across the pit). Then, have the Judge state "Uh-oh! Suddenly, an unnoticed enemy leaps out at you!" while a man in padded armor, with a padded staff leaps out onto the plank... The pit is filled with old mattresses, but falling in eliminates the PC from the contest... Bullrushes will probably work, but the NPC Staffman will probably prefer Trip... The various individual "Contests" can be anything you want (finding a trap, getting through a corridor "alive", crossing a chasm, whatever). RP a "Team" going through the events before the PCs, using good tactics. Then, after the PCs have "watched" the team ahead of them, to see what challenges they faced, let them try it, and use no tactics... After the eliminations, the teams that scored best will then be invited, by the local Powers That Be, to go on a mission, for them... and they will be competing against the other winning teams!
