[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 6376529, member: 6779310"] Lame players, more like. Mine... DM: "The dragon is lazily coming in, seems to be looking for big targets." Players, all at once: "I find cover on the parapets and ready my..." (insert ranged weapon) Lots of held actions waiting for it to come in to range. The Tiefling fighter lobs a shot that narrowly misses while at 220 feet out. The Drow, realizing that his maximum range is going to be 10' shy, shinnies down the outside of the wall, and takes up aim. The Tiefling Warlock puts some challenging remarks from dead under it. It comes in, kills a few NPCs. Tiefling Fighter asks if he can organize a warning for the attack... makes a really rather impressive skill check. I apply a DM-1 on the next dragon attack. Raiders start chanting from across the town, in draconic, "Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!" Warlock puts eldritch bolts on dragon. Warlock, while waiting for dragon to grow a pair (more correctly, for him to recharge) hexes the dragon. Warlock uses a spell to make scary gold dragon noises from under the dragon. Dragon manages to fail the save (thanks to disadvantage on Wis), decides there are no interesting targets, comes in. He gets hit with a couple arrows, some eldritch bolts, and decides, "This hurts too much, I'm out of here." Dragon screams. DM failure to play the Monsters as NPC's isn't a failure of the module. Players cowering certainly isn't heroic. (Note that the tiefling warlock DID hide in the tower door). [/QUOTE]
