Obviously, the location, enemies et al are the same, but also the enemies behave in the same way- employ the same tactics etc.Here's the map of the Ancient Dragon Burial Site-[ATTACH=full]372921[/ATTACH]The PCs had to complete a skill challenge as part of this one- sneaking through the lair to the cut scene ahead (see the actual encounter for the cut scene). So the skill challenge involved mainly stealth and perception checks. A successful stealth check also enabled the various PCs to explore the map a little- move their PCs the full distance (this was done without the bad guys on the map) just to simulate the exploration phase. The perception checks allowed the PCs to spot enemy numbers and to make Monster Knowledge checks ahead of the fight/encounter.And so...ENCOUNTER #2The Ancient Dragon Burial SiteReady for the free-for-all?This one is slightly different, Hagrid is a named bad guy- that means he has a few extra hit points, and is maybe slightly tougher.Although only slightly, this is your first boss monster.Named guys are also good because if you kill one, i.e. deliver the killing blow, then you can press your SUPERNOVA button for free.That's right- for free.One more thing about this one.In the rewards for this encounter is your first magic item, woo-hoo.Ask your friendly DM about Magic Items, and their distribution amongst PCs.Your Task: Survive, kill all of the bad guys and either kill, or capture, Hagrid. Also, where's Dicky Pidgin?Number of Enemies: 23.Kill Points: 152.XP for Success: 828 (divided by 4, buckle up kids it's going to be a long and bumpy ride).Total possible XP: 980.Important Information: Remember you are looking for Dicky Pidgin here.ANY QUESTIONS?</blockquote>
