[QUOTE="DMCF, post: 6601513, member: 6790388"] A) I was running a pre-gen for the adventurer's league and several players joined my party late. They obviously out-classed the adventure because I had more than 6 players and some were max level for the adventure. There was a fight in a swamp with three giant toads. The players were in a boat and I sensed they outclassed this fight as well. I introduced a mechanic that every time a frog jumped on or off the boat, those still on had to make a dex save to stay standing. One person rolled a 1 a few rounds in and promptly knocked his character into the water to the delight of everyone. B)In PoA my group had a random encounter with a wight. One of the warlock's eldritch blasts fizzled and set a bush on fire. No one, not even the druid bothered to put it out. While i was erasing the map I noticed this. I finished erasing the map and drew a squirrel. Then I sat down and proceeded to tell them the story about Chitters, a young male squirrel stockpiling resources and looking for a mate to start a family. I worked up this history to the fight and then described the frightening sounds of metal clanging and a monster dying. As the fight drew to a close the squirrel began to smell smoke.
