Look how many times "max damage" comes up in that battle description. Right after the surprise round the raging barbarian comes up and hits for max damage. The dragon is nearly half dead by now (this includes the magic missiles). Then when it comes for the monk later, all three crossbows hit, the wizard drops another magic missile, and the raging barbarian crits, and rolls max damage again.As I said, the rolling was amazing. With the +4 AC bonus from the water, the dragon has a 23 AC, which is pretty tough for everyone but the barbarian. But everyone hits every time. And with darkness, distance, +4 bonus for the water and the dragon's hide skill, PCs needed 19s and 20s just to spot the attack on the monk. Every one made the spot roll. Then there's a miss chance for the darkness. No one missed. I was really expecting a much more deadly encounter, but you can't beat a night of rolling like that.PS</blockquote>
