[QUOTE="jasper, post: 7234595, member: 277"] Sunday I was asked to dm. Crypt of the Death Giants 06-03. I had a weak party. The group was not happy to fail checks and gain exhaustion. They failed 2 checks in the sandstorm. The arch encounter they were not interested in roll play and I just called for a check. (I think one player was megagaming but what ever.) The hallway part 2 encounter no one was really paying attention. I repeated the box text four or five times and no one was taking notes. When they finally chose a hallway a player just wanted to rolled dice to speak the safe word. I did not allow it. Part 3 was a slug fest for multiple reasons. One I do not know high level spells. Two I let drop what level the Globe of Invulnerability cast at. Three they had heavy magic defenses and one strange build which gave a guy AC 30+. Four they got surprise on the ritual due to all but one of the party being invisible and the visible one being disguise as a drow from the dead group. This was an interesting slug fest and I like the giants spawning each round. I called the combat at the top of fifth round. The group had killed everyone except the giants. Now they had not did much damage to giants but I could see it was just going to be a numbers game. If I would do this again, I must read up on all the spells. Find out what a war priest is. I used the necromancer stats for war priest. [/QUOTE]
