Boy, that sounds pretty wobbly, especially considering I posted that Ubaar would take cover and heal up - he's enraged, not suicidal.But Alex up and frees Ubaar, so he attacked? (I got this picture of a car peeling out with the brakes on, then accelerating once the net was pulled off)BTW: You should really check the rules you are using, because as far as I'm aware, once you ready an action, than you're stuck with a partial action. (pg 134, PHB "Only partial actions can be readied")Either you should have gone thru with the TPK, or let our PC's have a bit more control over the battle.I can only imagine how frustrating (or worse, boring) it was for some of the guys whose PC's were rendering unconscious early on.What, am I the only one that has opinions of this battle? (that unfortunately got started by all of us sleeping for 2 or 3 days before joining it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )Anyway, I'm glad you are open to discussion about the game, and glad you want me to stay on.Maps would be great - it would have alleviated many issues in this battle, methinks - I know they take time and effort, but hey - that's why we're playing, right? [/ooc]As for the encounter, since Ubaar didn't go unconscious, and the bad guys were vanquished that same turn, Ubaar's first action would have been to heal one of the mages with magic that can strike at a distance (either Calain or Alcar) to hopefully nail that sucker as he ran away. "Bad guy gettin' away."Ubaar wouldn't turn his cheek as the leader ran off, if he or they could do anything about it.Then he'd heal himself, turning inward to the powers of Uthgar for strength of healing as he eased down off the combat high.edit: P.S. upon reading it back, I retract and apologize for saying it was the worst fight I've witnessed.That was harsh, and too extreme of wording.There were mistakes, i think, in mechanics and approach, but nothing that can't be improved to be quite fun for all concerned.Sometimes I'm overly critical, holding other to too high of standard, but you can ask other DM's, I'm the first to give praise when I see something done well, because DM'ing is a mostly thankless task.and guys - you don't need to pump up Ubaar's ego - he knows he kicks ass. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />It's me that didn't like the way it played out, not Ubaar - as long as he's not dead, he's happy if there's a fight. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
