[QUOTE="JollyDoc, post: 1799054, member: 9546"] Also bear in mind that I'm taking some artistic license here. This combat basically took an entire evening's worth of play, with a lot of failed attempts to hit, cast spells, etc on both sides. That kind of stuff would be boring to read, so I hit the highlights, and add my own detail. For instance, Tilly's kill of Kerg: the dwarf had 60 hp to begin with. One fireball, and a failed save later, that total was halved. Rusty was already engaging the dwarf. Tilly tumbled behind for a flank, then hit with a sneak attack...more than enough damage to kill. As for Grimm, yes he is a tank and is lethal, especially in close quarters. This room was approximately 35 feet by 40 feet, and was crammed with 19 people, two of them large! What you would call a target rich environment for someone with a reach weapon. Plus, most of those in the room where not fighters, but spell casters. Even worse for them to be in a situation where they could not put distance between themselves and the combat to cast spells. Stay tuned. Grimm is not the invulnerable monstrosity he seems to be now. No matter how big and nasty you are...there's always something bigger and nastier...like an advanced, half-fiend Morkoth... [/QUOTE]
