[QUOTE="claven, post: 3414306, member: 50728"] i have been running games for my group for quite a while, so they are used to the idea that every so often an encounter isn't going to be exactly fair. that's life. if you want your campaign to be "realistic", sometimes the enemy will just be more powerful than the pc's can overcome, and they have to make the choice whether to stand and fight, or to flee. in my campaigns, the story is everything, but it is fluid. i don't write a story and force my players to adhere to it, i come up with a bunch of great ideas (or at least ideas that i think are great) and weave them around possible outcomes to situations the players find themselves in. one thing i never worry about is whether or not an encounter is fair to my players. i know, and they know that i will never outright try to kill them. they have learned to adapt to ever changing situations. what it comes down to in my mind is knowing your players. the situation you have set up seems fine to me. my pc's would not see it as unfair at all, they would roll with it and come up with some plan one way or another. i can't speak for your pc's though.
