[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8607151, member: 11"] Fantastic and fun! The entire 5-hour session was the back end of a LONG tactical combat that began the session before with the PCs defending a roadhouse from waves of goblins, ogres, and trolls. I also gave each player an NPC to run (a member of the family who own the inn) with a few lines of personality and preferences and instructions that for each of the NPCs who survive the encounter the party would get bonus XP. This added an additional layer of complication and stakes the players really enjoyed. Every member of the party dropped to the dying condition at least once (the barbarian twice!) except for the gnome bard/wizard who managed to go the entire fight without taking a single hit point of damage! Only one NPC died, Custus the Grandpa was eaten by a troll named Gumbo, after distracting it to allow his son and grandson to escape. Of course, we left off with one remaining complication (well, two - but the second is less immediate), the inn is burning from all the fire used to fight the trolls. [/QUOTE]
