[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8564827, member: 27385"] A great part of movies and books is when the heroes first meet the BBEG and they fail, maybe to the point of giving up since there is no way of coming back from that beatdown. They regroup and find someone/thing to aid them and they come back to save the day at the last minute. Kind of like how Rocky was feeling all 8th level and then Clubber Lang put on the beatdown. Poor Rocky had to travel to the secret grove of Apollo to be healed of his fear and gain the secrets of the "eye of the tiger". Only then was he able to come back and win in the end. What is your prediction for the fight? [ATTACH type="full" width="282px"]152921[/ATTACH] Perhaps Micky the Mage has been scrying the PCs since the day they helped him long ago and he can teleport them out at the last minute, or he is the court mage of the neighboring kingdom and pulls them out since the elimination of the lich would benefit his kingdom. This kind of saving should not be done more than like, once per campaign or the players will start to depend on it. To make the PCs suffer a bit as a price of being saved you can have the lich cast a spell as they are being teleported away and have each of the PCs magic items make a save or be left behind.
