A single encounter during a long rest is a waste of time if it has no chance of a TPK because the long rest will erase any damage done. And a TPK in such a case is not usually very fun.One time the group tried to take a long rest in a haunted mansion. Every time they were attacked they reasoned that there couldn't possibly be another encounter. And so on it went. The house attacked them 5-8 times before they finally packed up and left. It wasn't very fun.Now we have the rule that long rests are only possible in friendly settlements so we don't worry about such things.</blockquote>
