My first two groups both planned to do the same thing, but both got too wrapped up in trying to kill the captain first.Kudos to you also for keeping your eyes on the prize in the second encounter. Maybe that option should have been listed as a secret award, since it tells you where you should focus fire -- then again, shouldn't that be an obvious option to players already? The real challenge might be trying to get both the Baron Sparin' and Kraken Smackin' awards in the same fight, since it's unlikely you'll have time for the latter after you've achieved the former.In retrospect, I was too kind to the players. Desperate to avoid having all of the sahuagin pinned down by web in the second round, I had the baron move out of the affected area and into an opportunity attack he could have avoided. Still, when you're trying to get players to make their turns quickly, you have to lead by example, even if you suspect you've just made a mistake. Afterward, I realized that he and his guards were fine where they were for at least long enough to kill off one of the party's two defenders while the kraken took on everyone else.Ha. I suppose I could have also moved them below decks by the time they dropped that defender, when they'd have had strength in numbers even without the tentacles. The best resources are always double-edged.</blockquote>
