If you really want to wrap it up, you can do anything. I'm a fan of traps, so either booby trap the way in, or better, have a magical deadman switch that turns on the traps and they must fight/engineer their way out. A new kind of golem to intended to serve as a police force (think Steel Clan from Gargoyles) could be waiting for them and activated at a magical alarm. Another deadman tactic is the classic explosion. Of course, the explosion does not have to be aimed at the party. It could be aimed at some one essential to their movement. Kill the lord, the prince regent dies sort of thing. That means subdual damage or other means of trapping the lord. Alternatively, if you have a map with pre-planned encounters based around a find-the-bomb scenario, you can split the party. I know this goes against conventional wisdom, but it can work. Enact a six-second timer for decisions. Roll off to determine what group goes first. Have two battlesheets. Have the movement get wind of the deadman effect, and then you now have parties that are a lot easier to deal with.</blockquote>
