[QUOTE="Fu-Man Chu, post: 6821483, member: 2886"] I played this last night at a local con - it was my first time playing D&D AL (though I previously played a lot of Living Greyhawk and Pathfinder Society). It was also my first game of D&D 5e other than a quick introductory game at GenCon 2014. I had thought I was joining in a 2-hour Wednesday D&D Encounters game, so now it makes sense why it ran about 4 hours 15 min. We had a party of 5 first-level PCs: Paladin, Warlock (me), Sorcerer, Ranger, and Cleric (being played by a person new to D&D), and a 2nd level fighter. Yeah, it was rough. I'm not sure they DM knew it was supposed to be for APL 3 when he ran the mod, and so he ran it with kid gloves on. We fared fairly well until the battle with the goblin king and centipede. My PC, who was hiding in the back casting Eldritch Blast decided to open the boar pen and get out of the way as that seemed the only way to prevent a TPK. At that point, we were all out of spells, the Fighter was charmed, the Paladin at 2 failed death saves, and the Cleric was in melee with him. Fortunately, the goblin and centipede were standing just in front of the cage and so the angry boar just ran straight out and gored him. We managed to then rally with some good rolls and healing with potions to bring them down. We never ran into an succubus though, so I'm not sure if he was taking pity on us, or if it was because we were over time, or both... [/QUOTE]
