[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 5235205, member: 305"] My notes aren't as good as some... I missed the first combat again. It was 6 PCs vs a juvenile purple worm. We defeated it, using almost all our dailies, the round before it would have killed our (swallowed) fighter. The next combat was the big one of the session. PCs (all 8th level) Dragonborn fighter Dwarf cleric Dwarf paladin Halfling rogue Human ranger Shifter avenger 5 spiders and 4 spider minions. I have no idea what the levels and roles are. Seemed to be lots of skirmish damage tho. Almost complete failure to focus fire. My cleric got trapped at the end of the tunnel, with all the spiders between me and the rest of the party. The paladin took one spider down a hall, the avenger teleported another to the far side of the room, the ranger backed into a corner, was followed by a spider which was then flanked by the rogue. The fighter spent the whole fight weakened and ineffectual. 80 minutes, 9 rounds, 9 minutes per round. The next fight we ambushed a drider, 2 drow and mindflayer. The drider stepped into the middle of the room, we rushed it from all sides, and half the party, plus the drider got caught in the mindblast. Everyone but the avenger piled on the dazed drider and pounded it flat in one round. The avenger then teleported one of the drow bodyguards down the hall, past the mindflayer. We quickly piled into the hallway, ended up almost perfectly alternating friend, foe, friend, foe, friend, and that group got hit with both the dragonborn breath and the mindblast. We then unleashed a barrage of criticals, 3 of them with high crit weapons. Devastating. My cleric killed the mindflayer with a crit on an opportunity attack for 31 damage. 50 minutes, 6 rounds, 8 minutes per round. PS [/QUOTE]
