[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3222510, member: 149"] To paraphrase "Cool Hand Luke", what we had here was a failure to communicate. My impression and that of at least a couple of the other players was that it wasn't supposed to be a "serious" battle. We assumed (and you know what they say about assuming) that it was just a chance to kick ass and show off. In other words, that we were going to be facing forces so far below us on the CR charts that we couldn't be getting any xp (Even if that was how Shilsen awarded XP). So we went in there cocky and unprepaired. In large part because [b][i]we thought that was the whole point of the battle[/i][/b]. That it was a chance to revel in being high level bad asses, fighting foes who were vastly beneath us. Thus I deliberately chose to do a number of things I knew were suboptimal, like empowering a disintegrate on a enemy who probably couldn't have taken the base damage and summoned a single SMVI gargantuan centipede, rather than d3 SMV or d4+1 SMIV creatures which is the more combat effective move. Because I thought we were just having fun. Shil had a rather different idea of what things were supposed to be as you'll see sometime in the not too distant future. [/QUOTE]
