They had a weak start, but they rallied pretty well in that fourth round, cutting off most avenues of attack and laying down a field that prevented anything from charging the dryad, save for down two very narrow lanes. The invoker/cleric hybrid had conjurations that could have prevented that last attack, but he overlooked my one window of opportunity for that last creature, underestimating how far the ankylosaur could move that turn. Instead, he used his standard action to bloody all of the remaining dinosaurs.They had one surgeless healing power that would have made all the difference if it had been used earlier, but the player didn't realize their ward had only one healing surge until she spent it. Another unlucky break came because their resourceful warlord forgot to mention the damage bonus he granted to their barbarian when she spent her action point, as it would have been enough to kill the creature that would then go on to kill Hyacinth.With a bit more practice working together, this group of PCs could probably hold it together until at least the 5th round. A few more tweaks might see them through until the end.</blockquote>
