No creature should be able to auto-kill you. Even The Kraken can roll a 1.Why wouldn't the designer of the module use the 10th-level solo Sea Kraken from MM3? That would have been a much more interesting foe and could have tested DMs and players alike with aquatic combat.And since when can forced movement slide you over a barrier? Or was this a REALLY weird ship with no railings? I would have been slightly less POed with the adventure if the tentacles had to at least spend a turn ripping a section of railing off.We fought our way through the first encounter and made it out with almost no time to spare.Everything was going fine in the second encounter. It was tough, but no one was down. My druid was pushing 1-2 tentacles each round 3 sqaures and knocking them prone, which helped reduce damage. Until someone finally bloodied one of the tentacles, triggering the FREE ACTION save or die ship tilt, causing 2 characters to fall overboard. Luckily the remaining characters bloodied the baron and convinced him to surrender. Even that seemed ridiculous. He had us severly bloodied or dead and still had four tentcle allies and he gave up?! Completely unrealistic to me.We considered the scenario beat and won't be playing it a second time.</blockquote>
