[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6514612, member: 18333"] I was running my Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle campaign, but only 2 players could make it. Instead of postponing the game I let the 2 pcs take their black dragon hatchling and scout ahead in the Lizard Marsh. This would give the fighter a chance to try to train the black dragon hatchling. Well, I decided to use the random encounter tables in the adventure. Going out the pcs only encountered 4 giant frogs. They could handle that pretty easily. On the way back, they encountered 8 Bullywugs. (The pcs were only 2nd level). I had the fighter roll charisma checks to command the dragon so it only responded a few times during the fight. Then the fighter went down, but there was only 1 bullywugs left. Instead of having the bullywug run, I had it attack the other pc (a monk). It rolled 2 critical hits! Well, the fighter failed 3 death saves. The monk (who had a potion of healing) rolled a 20 and revived right when the fighter died. I felt bad about that one. I didn't know that bullywugs got 2 attacks per round so 8 of them vs 2 pcs was a very tough fight. I should have just had that last bullywugs run. [/QUOTE]
