BBN did over 100 on a crit and took down one of the demon goblin minions (86 HP). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pixie Bard got hit by poison dart and lost 5 Con and 4 dmg. Down to 25 HP. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Yip (Kobald Wizard) cast Horrid Wilting and hurt every single bad guy. Even Hextor. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hextor got mad. He cast a Quickened Acid Strike on Pixie, Yip, and Whisper. Then he cast Acid Storm on everyone. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Together, Yip, Whisper (Druid), and Pixie took 30d6 of acid damage in one round. Yip and Pixie died. </li> </ul>Second Round: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Everyone got closer. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hextor, at 66 ft tall, AoOed everyone who came within 30 ft. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">More minions died. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hextor did something I can't remember. Likely involving a Quickened Acid Strike. </li> </ul>Third Round: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Whisper (Druid) hit Hextor with a Greater Dispelling. He had an impressive array of buffs, making him super special. She had to roll a Caster Level check against a DC of 31 for every one of the spells (meaning she needed a 14). She rolled below a 16 a total of once. (Blasted Druid!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hextor got mad at the Druid. He cast a Quickened Acid Strike on her followed by Implosion (which, I've decided, sucks as a 9th level spell). She had put up Protection from Acid (in round 2) and resisted the Implosion. She escaped his wrath unharmed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">He saw her as his real threat and decided she was going to die.</li> </ul>Fourth Round: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Everyone closed in on the, now 33 ft (Righteous Might was dispelled), Hextor. BBN auto-crited, using Power Critical from S&F (BAD FEAT) and everyone smacked Hextor good and plenty.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blackguard took him down.</li> </ul>DM Notes: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It was a good thing they took him down when they did. Had he had his turn (it was very close) he would have cast Ethereal Jaunt, Heal, and popped back out with Antilife Shell up. He then would have blasted Whisper (Druid) with his own Greater Dispelling followed by either a Quickened Acid Strike. Or, instead, used a Full Attack (he was dealing out 40-50 per hit) on her.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I completely forgot to Disarm. That could have changed the entire outcome of the fight. Especially if I had done so to the BBN.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It really was a great fight. The PCs were suitibly scared by the beginning and really fealt like the accomplished something.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I gave the PCs 20 miniutes to prepare without me present. It was the first time I'd ever done that and they did pritty well. I, meanwhile, was preping without them present (I saved some stuff to do during this time). I wasn't terribly impressed by their planning but they did manage to surprise me a couple times.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I had given them a view of the battlefield beforehand, which they did okay in using.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I went overboard on descriptions this session. From spells to effects, I described. I think it worked really well to draw everyone in but I don't plan to do it too often. I want it to be special when it is.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm opening the thread to my players, who should feel free to post any corrections or thoughts.</li> </ul>Any questions? </blockquote>
