When I asked, "what did she look like?" so i can plan for how to defeat her, he said she looked very old, never mentioning that she was undead, or even hinting at it.  At lvl 17, we got kiked pretty adly by her (she sent us intoa  maze one by one and hit us as we came out of it) atthe end of the day, he said, "all youhad to do was walk up to her and mass heal- and she would have been dead..."but that was not what i had in mind cause i didnt know she was undead- instead I cast antimagic field and ran away under the cover of antimagic...next time, dont have set answers- leave it open, but have a general idea of what to do- taht way, the players wont be upset that you are out to get them. and nomatetr how obvious the solution, a PC ghroup will never use it- because sometimes, the most obvious, is the most difficult to come up with...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
