Put them to flight!

[the Jester]

We just got done with our 2nd day in a row of gaming- it was awesome! The party is on the cusp of paragon level- they're largely 10th at this point- and for the first time in a long time, they had an encounter that they had to flee. In fact, talking about it, it had been since about 2nd-3rd level since they'd had a fight that hard!

It was awesome. I totally put them to flight. But they escaped and sat on the trap door (more or less), and it sounds like a short rest and they'll be heading back in!

Woo Hoo! Are you running a home brew, SoW AP, a mixed bag of 3pp or WOTC adventures or the H1-3 P1-3 E1-3 series?

Homebrew- they're pursuing one of the escaped leaders of an enemy command structure. He seems to have found some new allies.

Yaay retreat!

When we sat down to play Keep on the Shadowfell, the first 4E session for most of the players in that group, the heroes were chased out of the dungeon by the goblins and rat swarm in the first room.

An ignominious start, to be sure, but an encounter none of us will ever forget. Sometimes defeat can be as entertaining, dramatic, and memorable as victory.
