oh, well no wonder, then. you threw a cr 8 encounter against a level 3 party of 4 characters - that's beyond a deadly encounter by a5e...

Llichmaster replied to the thread Level Up (A5E) Removing Pointless Death (+).That's all we need to know. 4 CR 2 creatures vs 4 Level 3 characters is really deadly encounter.
