[QUOTE="CydKnight, post: 7067445, member: 6873462"] We were continuing after [I]Lost Mine of Phandelver[/I] with [I]Glasstaff's Revenge[/I] from the DM's Guild. The party did several ill advised things that night but two in particular led to one's demise and nearly another's. After entering the town already under siege and partially burning, they had just fought off a small part of Glasstaff's henchmen who had set up an ambush near the main entrance to the town. The party managed to fight off the ambush but took some damage. For some inexplicable reason, they decided to split up the party without taking a short rest or healing. The Paladin and Wizard entered the center of town to find themselves stairing down 9 henchmen and Glasstaff himself. The Paladin led the round by doing a Dash action and bolting the way he came. The Wizard, after seeing this and either not realizing the disparity in numbers or not caring, casts Chromatic Orb on Glasstaff perhaps assuming he could do enough damage to put him down. Though the spell was successful it did not put the Mage down. The PC did use his 30 feet of movement afterward to move back in the direction he came but Glasstaff hit him with a fireball powerful enough to set him below zero since he didn't heal before this encounter. The henchmen then pummeled him to unrecoverable death. [/QUOTE]
