Message: <blockquote data-quote="jasper" data-source="post: 7292910" data-attributes="member: 277">Fire Giants Session 5 and final report. Brain food, rotten rival, not young, and the wall did what!The group had 5 people due to a drop in about half way through and they were over powered but I only made one change.They were still in the basement of the dungeon and took some nickel and dime damage from the piercers and jellies. We had a "are you really going to get stupid" moment. I had already announce they could just talk to the mind flayers and they would get xp. The mind flayers asked the group did they want breakfast of green eggs and ham. OUCH. DOH! I asked the player did he really want to get into arm distance of the mind flayer and he said yes . 3 times I asked. So combat with mind flayers. The new player join us, I summed up the situation where the hall was on alert etc. The group found the rival drow clan and were given an information dump which I gave the lay out of most the basement, and about a third of the second level. I also lied about the dragon in 7 being young. But the party got greedy and the dragon went down in 2.5 rounds. I asked did they want to attack the head drow in her lair or a temple. They choose the temple. Then the new guy asked for the Fire Giant King and Hill Giant King be include in the boss fight. I did change the ritual to just a drummer. And said the doors closed behind them. This was mainly to keep the combat simple for me. I did call for assistance from another dm to run the drow. The drow from level 3 room  15 had move up to protect Lady E. The fight start with the party prepared. They had a  water elemental, some summon animals, one of the pcs had disguised himself as the "evil murder hobo granny killer druid", the druid and monk (new player) were invisible. The combat kicks off. I did have each monster have it own init. The drow mage was nearly drop with the first attack. Some of drumming affected two of pcs which nerf some of their abilities. Lady E finished the summoning just before the monk dropped her.  He was then eaten by the Elder god. I had the whole wall turn into a portal which the tentacles came out. He asked me to double check my die roll since I did hit him. He had an AC 27 but I had rolled a 16. I ruled him out of combat and later said dead needing a resurrection.  The fighter and water elemental took out a frost giant.  The false druid was zeroed out but came back up with the help of a healing spell.  The regular drow were mostly taken care of before they hit anything.  The druid cast tidal wave which pushed a fire giant and 2 elite warriors into the portal. Then time was called by the store owner and I said they won. They earn over 8,000 xp from the boss fight alone. The rest of the xp is unknown at this time as the person taking down xp and treasure has not posted it.</blockquote>
