Completely. It took less time to rouse the Duke and explain the situation and get him moving than it did for three characters to don their armor? <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:" /> And why wasn't the PC who flew over the Duke's walls unannounced in the middle of the night filled with arrows/crossbow bolts?3) The rules are being applied inconsistently -- Super-Duke got there in time to help, after being roused from his slumbers/reverie, but the PCs who decided to put on their armor couldn't? Uh-huh.4) And what was the explosion all about? It strikes me that it was simply to announce to the PCs, ''Time to get up! Time to die!''5) If there were 140 troops surrounding the tower, why weren't there a contingent of wizards/sorcerers and clerics stationed there with them to provide backup?Or are the PCs  the only spellcasters in town, besides the vampires and the Duke ?<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:" /> 6) The player lost his temper; it happens. I've lost my temper a few times in the last 22 years over in-game events, and so have some of my players, but we give each other a certain amount of leeway because we're friends; I wouldn't put up with it myself from a casual acquaintance or a stranger, and would hold my temper better with someone I don't know too well..The player, for all of that, sounds like a jerk; if he isn't a friend, I'd get rid of him.But he has a point about how you played the scenario out.</blockquote>
