[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8414721, member: 11"] It was great. We completed a huge module that took 8 sessions of five hours each to play through and the party was awarded XP at the end, reaching 6th level. The session began mid battle with the big bad, EXPLICITA DEFILUS, in her lair in a sunken temple in the middle of a huge sunken cavern. Where we left our heroes: [ATTACH type="full" alt="244417485_573139743932810_1743125889804032750_n.jpg"]144753[/ATTACH] Nora Darhk the tiefling ranger/sorcerer critically wounded and facing off against the naga.

Alston Turin, the gnome bard/wizard, who is very good of staying out of the scrum! The fight began grimly, but the party turned it around and was about to quickly finish the naga when a dimension door followed by a readied action from where she hid behind a pillar, slowed the pace to something she could work with - esp. once when that readied action went off and the barbarian and bard found themselves face to face with a wall of fire.

The idea was to leap through and sink and arrow into the critically wounded naga. She jumped through and barely survived but even with a hero point (+1d6 houserule we use) she still missed! And then dropped from additional fire damage because [I]I[/I] forgot the back side of of the fire wall was "cool." So much to remember sometimes - thankfully she survived and the party won the day. [I have since informed the party of my error] After that there was a lot of clean up, reuniting with NPC captives they'd freed and having a minor encounter with a harpy who was a cursed woman tied back to the party's very first adventure - and they were able to free her and change her to human and bring her back to town with the others. The session ended with XP awarded - but with the bombshell that the knight they defeated as part of a sidetrek encounter back in session #16 is the suitor of their friend, the girl in love with a singing troll! Now they have even more reason to try to get involved in her life despite her father's consternation at their interference! Anyway, they hit 6th level and I am curious what choices folks will make.
