NEW (AGAIN)- Thunderspire Labyrinth- Stat analysis #25 Shrine to Baphomet
Yep but i think they were goddamn walls
Particularly memorable in-game because the line was delivered by Grey Morlock, the cowled Wizard, who is not known for expressing any emotion, or surprise, or shock, or anything much... Don't get me wrong he speaks but he generally cuts to the chase, the guy who plays him is startlingly intelligent but a little light on personable.
Whereas Winstanley, the Halfling Thief, barely pauses for breath, a stream of often random warblings and wafflings- a running commentary most sessions, the kind of guy who reads road signs (and anything else with words on) when you're driving.

Comment: And the PCs are through it, and that was only a Level 2 encounter, that's Level +0 for the 2nd Level PCs, it just shows how terrain, aura damage and a surprise round for the bad guys (mostly) can even things out. It also helps when the bad guys had 202 hit points between them.
Fight over the PCs investigate the Kruthik lair, and the dead Goblin in the hole- discover plenty of shinies and count them... one, two Potions of Healing. Treasure distributed, and with nowhere else to go, the PCs head back to the former Rat lair, and the 'danger- keep out' door. Dirty slams it open and the PCs stride in... confidence, apparently, is a factor.
Stats: PCs down to 58.54% connection rate, the bad guys with 48.15%; the PCs however were only dealing an average of 30 points of damage per turn which is just not enough, again the bad guys started the encounter with 202 hit points- low connection rate and no use of Daily Powers therefore means it's going to take a while to wear the bad guys down. Once again we're back to attrition, only 92 XP/turn earned by the PCs, the least in any encounter so far.
Combined Stats: That's messed with my previous theory, still not enough data perhaps, Level +0 encounters and Level +1 encounters are now not so different- average 5.5 turns for Level +0, 5.6 turns for Level +1; time to play out 40.75 & 43.4 minutes respectively.
In other news the PCs remain locked on station as regards connection rates-
Dirty 53.75%
Kaspard 56.45%
Phrenic 60.53%
Grey 63.11%
Winstanley 80.88%
Damage taken is still pretty much as was as regards the ratios-
Kaspard 81
Grey 93
Winstanley 103
Phrenic 195
Dirty 347
As previously Dirty and Phrenic are in the thick of it, remember Phrenic has only been in 7 encounters, the others have been in 11, he's doing his best to catch up with Dirty however. Winstanley has to get into the fight every now and then, and of the two that stand back then Grey draws slightly more fire than Kaspard, and is easier to hit it has to be said.
The average encounter now is Level 3.45, takes 6.73 turns to play out and lasts 51.91 minutes.

Comment: And the PCs are through it, and that was only a Level 2 encounter, that's Level +0 for the 2nd Level PCs, it just shows how terrain, aura damage and a surprise round for the bad guys (mostly) can even things out. It also helps when the bad guys had 202 hit points between them.
Fight over the PCs investigate the Kruthik lair, and the dead Goblin in the hole- discover plenty of shinies and count them... one, two Potions of Healing. Treasure distributed, and with nowhere else to go, the PCs head back to the former Rat lair, and the 'danger- keep out' door. Dirty slams it open and the PCs stride in... confidence, apparently, is a factor.
Stats: PCs down to 58.54% connection rate, the bad guys with 48.15%; the PCs however were only dealing an average of 30 points of damage per turn which is just not enough, again the bad guys started the encounter with 202 hit points- low connection rate and no use of Daily Powers therefore means it's going to take a while to wear the bad guys down. Once again we're back to attrition, only 92 XP/turn earned by the PCs, the least in any encounter so far.
Combined Stats: That's messed with my previous theory, still not enough data perhaps, Level +0 encounters and Level +1 encounters are now not so different- average 5.5 turns for Level +0, 5.6 turns for Level +1; time to play out 40.75 & 43.4 minutes respectively.
In other news the PCs remain locked on station as regards connection rates-
Dirty 53.75%
Kaspard 56.45%
Phrenic 60.53%
Grey 63.11%
Winstanley 80.88%
Damage taken is still pretty much as was as regards the ratios-
Kaspard 81
Grey 93
Winstanley 103
Phrenic 195
Dirty 347
As previously Dirty and Phrenic are in the thick of it, remember Phrenic has only been in 7 encounters, the others have been in 11, he's doing his best to catch up with Dirty however. Winstanley has to get into the fight every now and then, and of the two that stand back then Grey draws slightly more fire than Kaspard, and is easier to hit it has to be said.
The average encounter now is Level 3.45, takes 6.73 turns to play out and lasts 51.91 minutes.
H1 Keep on the Shadowfell
Encounter #12 Area 11 The Water Cave
PCs head down the stairs and spot the treasure immediately- on the small island, suspicious- however before they can get too suspicious a rasping fart sound is followed by the water before them bubbling furiously and emitting a wave of nauseating greenish gas...

Comment: Ahh. The PCs first Solo, and the first round and all of the PCs save Phrenic are Dazed & Weakened- not the greatest combination, how's that for a surprise round folks. Let's see what happens next...

Comment: Yep. I should have parked the Blue Slime one square away from the shore and used the reach attacks, do you know why I didn't... No, neither do I. About thirty seconds after doing it, when Winstanly hit with his Sly Flourish, I realised my error- I didn't fancy asking for a do-over.
Must do better next time.
