Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormtower" data-source="post: 4278626" data-attributes="member: 43631">I ran "Into the Shadowhaunt" three times at Games & Stuff in Glen Burnie, MD, and "Against the White Dragon" once.  My first party was a group of 4E vets (relatively speaking) and they handled the module with ease, then had a very difficult fight with the white dragon... the wizard used Icy Terrain to knock the dragon prone and it fell out of the sky as a result,which enabled them to surround & pound it into submission.  The second group was two complete D&D newbs and three returning players (2nd Edition folks who skipped 3E)... they had a great time and just barely managed to overcome the statues and Helvec's skeletons along with the elf necro himself.  That second group had great rolls, and my dice (luckily for them) got cold when rolling for the statues.I TPK'd my third group, but they were really good sports about it.  Like the previous two groups, they triggered the Helvec battle before fully investigating the statue room, so had to fight all the monsters at once.  This group was more of a collection of individuals rather than a team; the cleric tried to tank the skeleton troopers and fell quickly, while the human fighter engaged one of the statues by himself.  Even though it was a TPK the players thanked me for the session and there were smiles all around.  We had two other great DMs running games and the turnout was very impressive... easily triple what the store owners expected based on pre-Gameday signups.</blockquote>
