[QUOTE="Galeman, post: 1312163, member: 13003"] hey bill, to answer your question from a gm's point of view, things seems to go one of three ways with a group like this. 1) the group completely anhilates the encounter - usually while at full capacity. 2) the group turns tale and runs - usually when at low capacity. 3) the group gets their collective a$$ handed to them and gorak's snake bails them out - wait for it. it'll become a recurring theme in the 2nd-4th level games, that is, if EternalNewbie decides to play it up :p also though, i try to tailor set encounters such that i feel they can handle them. as it is though, Gorak makes a pretty decent front line fighter, and sorceresses can deliver a sick amount of damage. things tend to go wrong when Shayla goes down or gets low on spells. though Shayla really is as deadly as Newb describes her with that crossbow. of course, newb's perspective on this all may vary and i'm sure he'll give a completely different answer than mine. one in which Khalid shines through no doubt. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
