He was getting hammered in the darkness. Even with disadvantage, bless was helping immensely. An extra 1d4 bonus per attack is a huge help to hit. Bless is probably the single most powerful party buff spell in the game. If we didn't have that, probably would have missed a few more times.We tried to hit him to end by breaking his concentration. I think the paladin got in a lucky shot with the big smite for 28. He still made his concentration check. Then the paladin was hammered down to 25 points. We couldn't see her, so we couldn't target with spells. That's why I launched the fireball into the room once the fighter backed out. Fortunately, the Shield Master paladin made his save. I did yell "Fireball" to warn him it was coming. He didn't take any damage given Shield Master works like Evasion. Even with the fireball, she made the concentration check.The sleep spell was the bard's last second level slot. He was taking a chance we had done enough damage to put the opponent in sleep spell range. He cast it. The DM said the paladin almost went down to the sleep spell but the Legendary Creature had slightly lower than 25 hit points. She took 48 (fighter) + 28 (paladin) + 15 (wizard)= 91 points and was still standing. The sleep spell was desperation. If it hadn't worked, we probably would have lost. In the darkness, the paladin would have went down in one hit with the damage she was dishing. Yeah. That darkness ability was rough. Disadvantage on all attacks. Advantage for her against anyone in it. We couldn't target with any spell that required we see the target. Very nasty defense. Fortunately, sleep broke the concentration. That is when we finished her.</blockquote>
