[QUOTE="jydog1, post: 5507851, member: 48156"] [b]Session #28 - March 21, 2011 - Hannibal Smith was Right![/b] notes: after a week off due to illnesses and PAX hangover, we swung back into action and headed into the Fellnight. Allow me to set the scenario of the second battle for you - a 10th level evil druid gnome. Knows we're coming and is all buffed up, including [I]Stoneskin[/I]. Surrounded by allies. High, defensible position. Waiting for foes who can't trust their fire abilities. That little SOB was dead before [I]round one ended.[/I] I love it when a plan comes together. After the previous battle which we kind of screwed up a little we turned what could have been a brutal fight into a romp. Now if only the rest goes as well. Ha! Dinner was Captain Crunch Chicken and salad. From the journal of Grezzalik M'rethen: With a couple of days before the invasion of the Fellnight was scheduled to begin we made a quick run back to Sandpoint for supplies.
