Message: <blockquote data-quote="Talysian" data-source="post: 4831681" data-attributes="member: 66895">Ran the first Session Last night! Got up through the Depository. First off, I started about a week before new years and had some backstory built to connect the pc's to the mission. Then we scene cut to the Poison Apple. Thing's went smoothly, then The bombs started dropping. I made it several scout's that fell down the stairs and died, (4) and two that fell through a weak point in the roof as the thugs and others came busting in. The whole while Kathor calling out to surrender.  Let me tell you.. The scout's thunderstones... AWESOME! I had all but two people blinded and deafened at first, then had the Paladin and Archer Ranger the whole combat!!!  There were several times this was nearly a tpk, except Torrent tossed out two heals.  The party managed to pull a turn around due to a super lucky dual crit by the barbarian after Kathar moved in, and Kath called for the surrendor of himself and two scouts. He made a deal with the pc's to let the scout's lived. (tied up in another building) and he would surrender himself to the resistance.  On there way to the depository, I had one pc who wanted to Kill the woman in the window, to put her out of her misery... but teh half orc rangers (I have a melee and archer) climbed up and brought her down.   The family that was burned and banged up, were escorted to a resistance safe house for safety.  The fear effect I did as a skill challenge, sort of I had the initial attack on wil, and everyone was feared. Thus each round in the throng of people I had them loose a healing surge. Once they made the save it was a skill challenge to get out of the crowd. Pretty much everyone lost 1-3 healing surges and were feeling a little bit depleted.   Then came the weasle. Which I changed a bit to the merchant saying his baby was missing, and Confiding in the two rangers it was a Dire Ferret!  So the party rescued the weasle with two members complaining it was a waste of time. And they found the parcel as well. (which was a Long Bow in my game Inescaple). Then came the depository.. Man this was another near TPk. The usuall happened and they got up to the second floor and were just having a hard time with the solon's aura. Then Larial Sneak attacked the Warlord, dropping him to - 1 point away from - bloodied... The paladin quickly ran over and forced a second wind then laid on hands. Theb right after that, The barbarian.. (again I was watching his rolls as he sat beside me) Crit the Solon... Bloodying him... The instant explosion happened hitting everyone for 3d6+2 dmg... dropping everyone to under ten hitpoints excpet torrent and the archer ranger... (now the warlord used a power that if the wisp attacked anyone but him one threatiing ally could make a melee Basic.) Well the explosion triggered everyone so this triggered and he let the barbarian do it.. who crit yet again....(by this point I made him switch dice... his rolls were just HOT) well that crit dropped the solon.... And low and behold the explosion hit everyone except the archer ranger... dropped everyone to below 0, except Torrent and the ranger, Torrent went to give aid to the others while the ranger chased the severly bloodly laraian, down the steps just as the guards waled in and twin strike him... and again.. dual fricken crits.... dead Larian... with all but 2 of the party down the guards let them stablize the others but not bring them concious and that's where we ended off.</blockquote>
