We have just started A Great Upheaval and in the last two session we have almost had a party wipe each night.the big problem I have see in both the ZENT encounter and the ORC encounter is we are way over match for 1 lvl character for ZENT and 2nd level character for the ORC encounter.So here is what I would like to understand:we detect the Orc just when they were on the outside of the draw bridge and we were between the two towers. we had a fighter ( great weapon master), Paladin, mage, druid and cleric. Combat started with the mage going first and fired his spells. Fighter got to move next and position himself on the bridge to block the orcs from getting to the others because the orc had a better int. fighter attacked critted and ending up taking out 2 orcs and that is when the fight was pretty much over. The DM then took Orc leaders action to battle cry give all orcs advantage and then had all orcs attacks.  I am sorry but a orc chieftain, orc spell caster and 20 orcs way to build a party killing module.4 orc stopped at fighter but the rest of the orc ran by the fighter with there double move power, ran right in to the other 4 character that hadn't attacked yet and well..... fight was pretty much over.what I was wondering if I and the DM are reading the rules right in that the fighter was only allow to make 1 opportunity against the 10 orc that ran right by him.So it seem in this addition the concept of protecting the weaker character is pretty much impossible.Just to mention by the end of round 1 there was just the druid left up facing 8 orcs around him.the only reason it wasn't a total party wipe was that the elfs showed up and 2 or us were luck enough to make 3 successful death saves. I am really not liking the new book.</blockquote>
