Again, you could do something to tip our characters off... I had a slight idea that's what you wanted us to do after you told us that you didn't want us to fight the thing. You could have Robin figure out that the thing's too tough for us, and have us all evacuate the town. Have things deal no (or almost no) damage to the thing, and we'd get the point. (well, except for Evanist, every time I try to throw a (final or otherwise) boss preview at him in a mini RP, he tries to come up with new powers just so he can beat the thing.)
