I wonder if you ' re the worst person I ' ve ever met . At a certain age it ' s hard to recall , but the truly vile do stand out through the years . <| sep |> That made my day D <| sep |> Yeah , the issue of overly frequent rests is real . I try and make resting in dungeons a very dangerous proposition . Intruders get preyed upon pretty quickly if they try and have a snooze in enemy territory . Last session my group actually infiltrated the hideout after disguising themselves as Redbrands . There ' s a gnome , dwarf , and halfling in the party , who all tried standing on each other ' s shoulders to look like one Redbrand . Suffice to say the facadedice rolls didn ' t hold up for long , though it sure was entertaining while it did . Worried that their cover had been blown the Redbrands lured them into one of their rooms and then shut the door once all the party was inside , fleeing the battle to worn the others , the party decided to retreat back out the tunnel from which they ' d entered only to have the Nothic flip from content with the meat they ' d given it when they came in to hungry for more ! After defeating the Nothic who fled the combat out the tunnel might use him again someday the party was still pretty strong , but were so freaked out at how wrong things had gone also probably just freaked out by the damn Nothic and also not really knowing the layout and scope of the dungeon , that they decided to leave the way they ' d came and restrategise . Glasstaff and his Redbrands , similarly freaked out that they were infiltrated so easily , took the course of overreaction and sent the party a message by briefly switching from threatening the locals to alloutattack . They directed their forces including the bugbears to terrorise Phandelin ' s residents overnight , creating enmity about town by letting the townsfolk know that this is what happens when they shelter ' foreigners ', even leaving Mayor Westen to hang in the town square as a warning and punishment . Long story , but the party only found out in the morning , since they were hiding out in an underground shelter in the nearby woods that Sister Garaelle has long used to hide Harper agents passing through the area . They decided to move to more secluded climes several nights earlier , after the Black Spider sent some drow assassins to Glasstaff to murder the party while they were asleep at the town inn . So I just kinda show them that there are consequences to restingretreating , that the bad guys have their own plans . At the end of it all they just feel even more morally compelled to defeat the bad guys D
