The PCs were never really troubled by the small group of opponents and they kept the situation under control. With a balcony overhanging the common room of the inn, it was fun to see the PCs jump and climb all over the place, making good of their acrobatic and athletic skills. Heck, the goliath even threw one of the scouts through the window towards Kathor!Speaking of which, the avenger peeked outside during the battle and saw Kathor on his warhorse (I uppped the horse a bit...) with his three hunting dogs, and the PCs never really had it on their mind to parley with him: "he wants to kidnap our townsfolk and sell them to the invading Ragesians? DIIIIE!" Hehe. They cut him down, fair and square. Just after they threw his ally at him through the window. The avenger landed a daily for 28 damage or something, bloodying him off the bat; he tried escaping, but they intelligently concentrated fire on his horse before ganging up on him.I might be veering away from the trillith at this point, I'm not sure yet. Instead of a misty form escaping Kathor when he died, I had an ugly red-veined purplish larva come out of his ear. I'm not sure about the entire dream-creature angle and I'm juggling with the idea of going towards more concrete creatures of a creepy kind, I'm thinking either Cthulhu-inspired, weird aliens, mind flayers, ... Not sure yet, I'll let those ideas tumble about a bit and see what comes out later on. I want that part to be out of their control, something they won't fight with sword and shield, at least not yet. Something to throw them outside of the comfort zone and get their blood pumping a bit.The session was just about that one battle, which took more than three hours to get through with a bunch of players that are new to 4E. It was still fun I think, if a bit too easy which is not a bad thing for a first battle. Though to be fair the players played well, together, using their powers efficiently.We also had one new player in replacement of another that won't be playing, so now the group has a female elven cleric instead of a male dwarven cleric.Sky</blockquote>
