Hey guys,
most of my encounters consist of a single battle, involving one or more groups of opponents. Usually, short rests make no sense, since what kind of groups of opponents would wait an hour untill they send in the next wave? The only scenario I can imagine is a caravan escort, where caravan is attacked every hour or so. Or a small settlement, fending off groups of goblins that are invading the region.

What kind of sensible encounter would involve short rests?

Thanks!
