[QUOTE="JollyDoc, post: 1539496, member: 9546"] Not to spoil the post regarding this, but here's basically how it went down. First, not a single holy sword to be found in the group. Not sure how many rogues go around wielding those, btw. Also, even if you did flank the naga with a rogue, undead are immune to sneak attacks. Anyway, as the module states, the naga has excellent hearing, and probably has at least one round to prep before the party arrives, beginning with casting Displacement, so all attacks now have an automatic 50% miss. With the group in question, the next spell was Evard's, which caught the sorcerer, the cleric and the paladin quite nicely, effectively neutralizing them for most of the remainder of the fight. Grimm, Tilly and Kiko took the fight to the naga, but one Wall of Force later, Kiko was cut off, leaving Grimm and Tilly alone. Bring on another Evard's followed by Waves of Exhaustion, and those two were handily grappled. Though Grimm periodically freed himself, a necromantic mist weakened him, while healing the naga. A steady barrage of Cones of Cold did the rest. In the end, the party was victorious, but it was a long, protracted fight. The naga had a wide variety of spells available, and a Concentration check of +21. I would venture to say that even with your paladin and rogue flanking it, it could still have dealt some withering damage, if played correctly. [/QUOTE]
