I would do an obstacle that forces the party to separate and work together.

That's a fantastic idea. One example that popped into my head is the idea of the "dead man switch." Perhaps there is a door in the dungeon that can only be opened by having people in two completely different areas of the dungeon holding a lever down. And, of course, letting go of one of the levers will cause the door to close. One of the main rules of adventuring is "don't split the party," but if you force them to do just that to overcome an obstacle.... :twisted:

Crazy old party split, hmmm, crazy old party split... hmmm.
Sstavix, I'm afraid I've been thinking.
A dangerous past-time, I know.

Heh heh, exactly.

Since their next segment is down through the jungle, might be time to bust out some Amazons. That'll put those two up front since both of their characters are girls.
