[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 5685936, member: 85416"] Well, our battle with Acererak at the end of the Tomb Of Horrors turned out to be a bit of a letdown. The DM had us in room with multiple columns that blocked line of effect/sight and some odd columns that did different effects. First blow against the DMs setup was that, amazingly enough, we never got close enough to these special columns to set anything off. Next, he actually had NPCs that were min-replicas of our own characters. Many of the same powers, abilities, etc... 2nd blow came when our mage/caster rolled high init and got to go first. He dropped Chain Lightning, followed by Delusional Salutation (?) off his action point. He rolled a couple of crits, hit almost every single roll and did something like 667 points of damage in the first very turn of the first round. Ouch. What didn't help was that these NPCs were clustered right around Acererak, making it easy for our guy to nail them with the AOE stuff. Many of them were also stunned after this. 3rd, our party had a good night. I had 2 crits, the raging Barbarian had 3 crits (including one against Acererak for 227 pts of dmg), and others in the party critted as well, with only a handful of missed attacks all night. We pretty much wiped this bunch out in 3 rounds. Our DM told us he was very disappointed. He really thought that the NPCs with PC powers and abilities would do a lot better against us. I think they might have, if they had ever gotten the chance. Anyways, we leveled up to 24, and our DM and guest DM are cooking up something for us for the rest of Epic, as we finished this particular story arc. Off to bed now guys. Cya. :) [/QUOTE]
