[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8928494, member: 52734"] In tonight's session (my wife's campaign), our group was travelling to another section of the city we are in that was under siege by minotaurs. Unfortunately for us, the minotaurs were waiting for us, and they ambushed us on a narrow causeway, roaring at their displeasure in invading "their" territory. The cleric, druid, warlock and fighter took on two minotaurs while my thug rogue attempted to draw one off using his Cunning Action to dash past them deeper into their territory and down to ground level, hiding to ambush either one that followed. Neither did, though my character discovered two more minotaurs nearby (I was able to hide before being found). The party got hit for a lot of damage by the two minotaurs, downing the druid before the rest of group was able to take care of the two minotaurs. I missed most of the fight, waiting in ambush for the other minotaurs to respond to the combat above us. Eventually the two other minotaurs moved to join the fight. I was able to ambush one of the minotaurs, though not deal enough to kill it, but draw it after me as I retreated towards the remaining party members. The druid was revived just in time to use [I]spike growth[/I] to finish off the minotaur I had wounded, then used [I]thorn whip[/I] to pull the other through the [I]spike growth[/I] and off the side of the causeway, forcing it to climb around and back up to the causeway (and have to go through the [I]spike growth[/I] all over again). Needless to say, he didn't make it back close enough to harm us before we finished him off. Overall, though the fight started off slow and uninteresting, it quickly became a fight for our lives. Only once we whittled the minotaurs down to one remaining did it become a foregone conclusion and we could all breath a sigh of relief as we took a moment to recompose ourselves and move on towards our goal. The fight took the entire session, and was pretty good in the end. [/QUOTE]
