Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perun" data-source="post: 1202291" data-attributes="member: 6037">Thanks for the quick responses, guys!I'm playing the cleric in the above-mentioned trio. The whole thing ended with me and the abjurer going back to the city, and the barbarian charging the goblinoids in order to make a point. Needless to say, he didn't. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> He did manage to kill about 15 or 16 of the goblins while doing so, and that's only because the DM simply threw the goblins at him, with absolutely no tactics whatsoever, except to grapple him. He lasted the whole 7 rounds.The thing in the cage was not released, and the hobgoblins watched the whole thing without getting involved (but two did unsheath their greatswords). Goblins did not use any ranged weapons (IIRC, they had bows with them), and if there was a cleric/shaman/adept anywhere, he didn't make his presence known.To explain a bit further, the player in question used to play with a heavily combat oriented group in the past. They were extreme power-gamers, and he constantly cited the example where their four 4th-level characters managed to slaughter a band of 8 ogres in a single encounter.He ended up being somewhat upset at us.Since I have very little experience playing combat-intensive characters, I wanted to see if other people thought it unwise to charge headlong into that battle. I'm glad I was right. The DM and the abjurer's player agree with me.Regards.</blockquote>
