Re: Setting up encounters too difficult for the party to defeat?
An enemy with overwhelming force that doesn't want to kill them or kill them immediately. Defeat can lead to cool escape missions...
Had a party of PCs betrayed on an inside job - The PCs thought they were stealing from a rival, but were fed bad intel by a trusted source and were in fact heisting from the king's tax collections.
The king's own guard set up a sting operation - they were tipped off by said source. Elite guards came in from both sides of an alley and on a rooftop - PCs had the option to surrender but were subdued w/ nonlethal damage. Wake up in prison pending public execution - here PCs have many options to plan escape
