[QUOTE="twofalls, post: 2191944, member: 23718"] I can see your argument. I gave the Assassin a great deal of consideration. He was after all a well paid and highly professional individual, no ninja super spy type, but very capable. He watched the ship from a rented space that overlooked the pier, watching their routine and waiting for his chance. The Dwarf wandering out into the crowded open market directly in front of the ship was too good an opportunity to pass over. The dwarf failed a spot check, and was stuck under the breastplate with that deadly envenomed blade. That it didn't kill him was apparent by the reactions of the crowd and the timely arrival of the PC's Priestess. The second attempt came two nights later when he observed that the guard hadn't been increased save to have on of the PC's on watch at all times and everyone moved into one space. That attack came from the Harbor waters, where he swam to the Hyperion, climbed the back and was spotted... killed the sentry and you know the rest. Yeah, I can see how it might be higher than CR +2. I think if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change anything though. It was a thrilling night of role-playing, and the players left with smiles on their faces. Even the crippled PC's player thanked me. Just wondered what other DM's would have done. [/QUOTE]
