[QUOTE="Vargo, post: 4276872, member: 4436"] I went to the game day - Neumos is across the street from me, and it's the main HQ for D&D game day. I played first in the Shadowhaunt game as the Human Cleric. We pretty much walked through it - I had half the riddle (I knew who Pelor was, just didn't catch the sire reference) but we got it figured out pretty quickly. We blew through the hobgoblins, busted the statues, and the elf + skeletons went down real easy. We didn't even really break a sweat. There was also a game up with Andy Collins, one of the guys who wrote 4th edition. Three people didn't show for it (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? You have a game with Andy Collins and you bail? FAIL.) so I got subbed in at the last second. I played a half-elf rogue, and there were three other members of the party. It was the white dragon scenario. Everybody else kept getting pounded on except me. I got hit ONCE - and that was because I provoked an attack of opportunity moving into flanking position. I dished out metric tons of damage to the dragon - probably around 50-60% of the total damage done by our party. The last hit was mine - I rolled a natural twenty which maxes out the damage done by your attack, which dropped the dragon. High fives all around, and Andy Collins signed my sheet. I don't normally nerd out like this, but I was pretty proud.
