What are you talking about? The ranger hit 3 times for 41 damage! I'd hate to see how much you complain when the dice are actually against you!

I'm with Joe. I think that you've got more of a right to complain about low rolls in our last round with Dextyr. I'm still convinced that the necromancer is a financial contributor to Invisible Castle .

Well, I think I'm going to be giving Cov a run for his Killer DM crown in the Fey Ring game I took over from Ata. So far one downed defender, 1 at 1hp, and a nasty aura auto-damage in place...

It's looking bleak, isn't it?

Yeah Ata was evil with this encounter... on the plus side, loads of xp for the survivors

The only problem with de-leveling monsters is that a lot of their cool abilities aren't dropped off (like the hag's), which can be pretty nasty.

Ata was evil in general with the encounters. He did warn us after the first one that things would only get harder from then on out, and he did give us the option of having easier battles, which we refused. What fools we were.

Let's list the ways we PCs are screwed:

The entire map (or close enough) is difficult terrain. The Chokers can immobilize us pretty much whenever they want. The hag can push us around and has an auto-damage aura. If we split up, we can't support each other, but if we clump, the hag will AoE us down, and push us apart.

On the plus side, I hit with Vampiric Embrace again. Five out of five. Also, dying would be a good in-character reason to change pacts. Of course, I would then need to be resurrected afterwards. Maybe Lord Arnamil will take pity on us? Hopefully he hasn't heard all the mean things I've been saying about him.

Well, this is a lovely way to find that out...

*COUGH* Flesh Golem *COUGH*

So much for karma giving me easy encounters in RotFL to make up for Closed Eye...

Seriously, though: We're screwed. Auto-grabbing reach monsters and an auto-damaging hag makes it essentially impossible to come to Ironheart's aid.

I blame IC, it doesn't help that most of the attack rolls were over 15...

It's not hard for Rhole to get to within 5 of Ironheart as the choker can't make OA's with a grabbed target. He'll be within the range of the aura, but can toss the warforged a healing word.

Don't forget, as a Warforged Ironheart is in no danger of expiring due to missed death saves. So take your time (unless you need him on his feet!)

I love that ability of the Warforged! Only question I have is this.... is there any ability/power/monster that gives penalties to saves? Could those penalties possibly effect the warforged's death saving throw (it's just a saving throw like anything else, right)? If so, in the case that the warforged had a penalty to its saving throws and it rolled less than or equal to 10 on his saving throws, would he die?

In theory there could be - I can't name any off the top of my head, but I do know some that give bonuses to death saves.

(Hey, is dying an "effect a save can end"? A save can end it if I roll 20. Does that mean I can use Font of Life to get 2 death saves a turn?)

Y'know... for us Warforged Wardens... that's an EXCELLENT question!

Except by taking aura damage every turn...

I know of at least one, the rot hurler (elite artillery 22). So it is possible.

Edit: And the rot slinger, normal artillery 22. Which is what I was thinking of in the first place, but mis-linked.
