    Oof, 4 PCs dead, with one of them facing a fate worse than death. In my defense, I gave a bunch of hints that this would be tough, but they just kept pressing forward. One of them even shared this meme before the last session started: On the bright side, we'll have four new PCs from the...

    I admit that I was a little overwhelmed at that moment in the session. I was expecting them to approach the hilltop as group and try some stealth, not just make a mad dash up there.

    We'll be taking at least the next two weeks off. One player's going on vacation (Smugly) and another one is taking a coding class (Moss). The PCs are in rough shape, and they still have a hard encounter in front of them. Thalion, Roos, and Skarther are very low on Hit Points. Darsha and...
