[QUOTE="giant.robot, post: 5318096, member: 93119"] I had a blast at the Game Day. When I got my Red Box a few weeks ago I felt like I was ten years old again opening up my first Red Box. The Game Day was likewise similar to me first D&D game. The pregens were fun to play and on the whole well put together. I brought my friend along who had never played D&D or any other RPG before. She had a really good time as well. She played Brannus and enjoyed bashing kobolds and orcs with her greatsword. We did pretty well on the first encounter. The rogues climbed up on the roof and sniped through the holes in the ceiling. I played Korzon and it was interesting. I had the highest AC and doled out tons of damage. I wasn't used to playing such a hard assed cleric. We fumbled the stealth checks outside of the dragon's chamber. We opened the door only to face a phalanx of orcs. We closed the door right before the dragon spit acid into the doorway. We tried to get clever and run towards the second door and trick the orcs into going up the stairs. That didn't work and we burst into the crypt. Luckily by super high religion check upstairs got us some favor with Kord. We called it in and the zombies joined up with us to take down the orcs, the "defilers". The dragon burst through the back door as the zombies shuffled down the hall to deal with the orcs. We held our own for a while and had the dragon on the ropes and he was about to flee but used his breath weapon against us dummies bunched up in front of him. This incapacitated three of us. Luckily Brannus ran up and nailed the dragon for a ton of damage using every bonus available. Then the Mage (played by the store owner Mel) popped around the corner and nailed the dragon with magic missile. Down the dragon goes. It was a great solo battle and had an epic end. [/QUOTE]
