[QUOTE="BriarMonkey, post: 5556158, member: 95387"] It seems that the party is very much stuck. Or at least the players, and may haps the GM. It matters not if you think you are old school, new school, or not in school - the name of the game is just that, to game. It's an entertainment. And from the sounds of it, you have fallen from the entertainment wagon. When the players and GM run everything the same, all the time, and the outcome always seems to be the same - then why, for pete's sake, are you always doing the same thing? If no one runs a Cleric or Druid in the group, how come no one has stepped over that boundry and opted to run one? Why has no one in the group said "Hey, this fight is going badly, lets retreat?". It seems that you are very much in a situation of your own making. Honestly, the only advice that I could give is that everyone needs to change things up a bit. Try different character styles, different types of classes, different tactics. It's fine to play a module as written, but that same module will feel very different if the group changes. Anyway, I'm not trying to say you are playing all wrong (play style is open to interpretation). But you may want to trying changing up your play style. If it works - then great, you have achieved new things; if it doesn't, then nothing has been lost and you still achieved new things. Just my two shekels. [/QUOTE]
