[QUOTE="Desalus, post: 6386567, member: 6779178"] Last night in our Encounters game a brand [B]new player[/B], during our very first 'encounter' of the night, volunteered to fight Cyanwrath (he interrupted my attempt to goad Cyanwrath into challenging our entire party). His character went down in one hit (12 damage) and then on the [B]death saving throw[/B] he proceeded to roll not one but[B] two critical failures [/B]thus ending his character's life! His first time playing 5e, his very first encounter, and his character died after being attacked exactly one time. We all had a good laugh at his misfortune :]. Sadly it just goes to show how this encounter with Cyanwrath is just poor design on Kobold Press' part. The whole Greenest in Flames chapter was pretty poor IMHO (it definitely is a meat-grinder).
