[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 9027570, member: 82106"] So, one of the ways I have always approached this is a principle of 'no give backs'. You won through, X is safe, Y is defeated, etc. I won't take back what you won, I won't simply threaten it again, the BBEG is not going to suddenly return to life. You could create new stakes using those possibilities, but that's up to you and I will tell you if I think you're asking for that. There may be a bit of an exception, maybe you saved the town. There might be a front somewhere that presents a completely separate threat to the same thing, BUT you already know it is out there, it's not going to suddenly appear next week after the town was made safe.
