[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2024167, member: 99"] I accidentally set up a situation like this for myself on the first night of my new Eberron campaign. The first adventure had the PC's unwittingly make a repraisal raid on a criminal organization. So now that they've pissed them off I can have a goon squad or assassin show up whenever I need one to keep the tempo up. I'd be more proud of this if I had done it on purpose. Generally I don't absolutely force a combat if one isn't seeming to flow naturally from the plotline. I pride myself on the world being internally consistant so having some bad guys show up out of nowhere just for the sake of having a battle isn't something I normally do. BUT, if I've already implanted a REASON for said bad guys to pop up and attack the party then I'm not breaking my own rules. Also, the XP system we use doesn't require fighting for the party to get a decent night's worth of experience so nobody is forcing the issue on that account. [/QUOTE]
