*****
The table almost did not make and the game room was loud that I was having a hard time tracking what was being said and getting a headache.
Only 4 rooms were cleared. 98, 99, 100 and 15. By the rules they were a very weak group but after the first room, I just went with what was written. The combats in 99 and 15 were hard due to liar actions of the room but the others were almost a cake walk due the group prepping spells or the monsters going nearly last on init.
I do not like how the chosen are describe and to move the story along I may just do allow a rescue and disappear for the npc.
One bit of cheese. When a player knew the gravity would flip at the end of his turn in room 15, he tired to move so he could fall on the demon to do damage. I made him roll to hit with just his proficiency.
Insert standard map rant.
