I'm having issues with the length of combat, and I'm trying to determine if it's the group, or if it's just the way combat is in this system.
Players: A fighter/cleric, warlord, wizard, rogue and ranger. Rogue and fighter are level 11, others are level 10. All players play competently, though perhaps not perfectly.
Enemies: An umber hulk (12 elite brute) and a mind flayer infiltrator (14 lurker).
Terrain: Red Dragon's Lair (the map that came with the Gargantuan Red Dragon-- basically a large, mostly open cave with a couple random spots of lava, but I actually ruled the lava as water).
Please answer the poll before clicking the spoiler tag, don't want my experience to influence the results.
[sblock=Answer poll first!]
Not sure of the exact time it took us, but we started the game shortly after 6 and the combat ended around 9:00, so I'd say about two and a half hours.
