But I'm not grokking your explanation of sequencing. I’ve been reading through the parts of building a skill challenge on your blog, and I definitely understand branching and nesting.

It's a bit hard to explain at the moment, but the fight with the colossus is not a slugfest at all. I'll endeavor to show you when It's finished what I intend!

If you can't simply use them again, they make good templates that require minimal tweaking (hopefully)! I highly recommend Dungon Magazine's "Ruling Skill Challenges" series. Apparently, most skill challenges fall into one of three categories: social situations, travel and exploration, and large-scale mass battles. I haven't used skill challenges for anything past that.

I prefer to use the branching strategy in my games. It lets the players decide what avenue to pursue without me railroading them. It may be a little bit more work, but I often recycle the "road not taken" for a future skill challenge. As a DM I need to work smarter not harder. Great article.
