Every DM eventually gets a player who tries something completely outside the plan. This is the rule that keeps those moments from derailing the session, borrowed straight from improv comedy and adapted for the table.

Stop rolling to see if the party finds the clue. They always find it. Roll to see what it costs: do they find it before the guard shift changes, or after. Failure should move the story, never stall it. #DMtips

Solo boss fights are never as simple as one monster versus the players. Lair actions let the environment itself act on initiative count 20, turning terrain, darkness, and traps into another combatant.

GM tip: you can't out-monster a two-person table. So don't. Take things away instead.
Roll a die behind the screen when nothing is happening. Look at it. Say nothing. Their imagination builds a worse monster than you could.
Spooky season starts now.
