I was super frustrated, the fight went on very late.  I was making mistakes as we're the players.A BBEG Has so many extra powers, legendary actions, lair actions, minions, effects etc...that ot became a terrible bog-fest.  The players felt it as I struggled with what to do next.The Bard had made a Simulacrum of himself and then they both turned into an Ancient Brass Dragon.  In the middle of combat, they Changed Shape into the Archmages. I broght out the Beholders, and pointed the eyes in opposite directions to where the BBEG was casting (mainly at the Paladin and the Archmages), while the BBEG casts spells at the 2 Barbarians. The BBEG had tethered to the Cleric in case the Paladin started whopping on him so that the Cleric would take damage.Later, nearly every spell and damage was resisted by the Paladins Scarab of Protection  (12) and each dragons Legendary Resists  (3 each), that's 15 legendary resists,  and nothing that drove it home.These are players we've played with for nearly 20 years, and it was a mess.All I wanted was an epic encounter with a memorable ending.With all the griping and complaining, I slammed the book shut, and said,"Fine, you all win, what's the point? That's all the game is...roll math, roll, math, roll, math.  If you aren't going to have the faith that the DM is in control of the story, then why play?"I have a 4 page epilogue written to sum up the story... (pretty good I believe), but I don't even feel the fun anymore. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk</blockquote>
