I sort of got the prompts for five and six mixed up, and I apologize. Having already proposed a solution for a problem, I will now discuss problem solving in general: a solution I found for a difficult problem in a different context.
I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons regularly for almost a year now. I played occasionally in highschool, but the group fell apart as our schedules became incompatible. Now that I'm in college, scheduling has become a little easier, and my half-elf cleric is almost level eleven. Problems are a lot easier to solve at level eleven, because I can literally raise the dead multiple times a day.
Things were a bit trickier early on.
Our party faced a nasty situation. A fort had been overrun by demons. All but a few of the soldiers there were dead, and the ones left wanted to abandon the place to its fate. This was part of my personal quest; my party members agreed that I should be the one to decide whether to retreat or fight.
In short, I got to plan a battle.
We were outnumbered, even after convincing the soldiers to fight with us. We had no chance in a drawn out fight. Instead, I decided to distract the demons with summoned creatures while the party brought all force to bear on their leader. It wasn't a very complicated plan, but it was still tremendous fun to see it all come together.
