The first table (4 players) survived until the Big Reveal, but they were completely unprepared for that and were quickly overwhelmed.The second table's start time was delayed by about half an hour because the fire marshal was limiting access, but we got finished with time to spare. This group of six had a better grasp on their roles, but one slip put their defense of the druid in a reactive state, and they were all out of position when the ankylosaurs came calling in round three. Since we still had ninety minutes, I let them play on to the end as though Hyacinth had infinite life. It was soon apparent that they'd just needed a little bit more time to get a feel for the rest of the group, because they completely dominated the field from that point on. This was a relief to me, as they were using pregens I'd designed and I wasn't sure either the binder or the warlord would measure up. Fortunately, both controller and leader were played by people who preferred those roles, and both found them acceptable. Fun was had all around, and I got to hand out a lot of the promotional cards I've piled up over the last year of Encounters.I'll be running this at one last convention, though it takes place a week after the new season starts. Much as I'd love to run Spiderkiller, I need to know I can fit the event into the allotted time slot-- one reason Talon of Umberlee wasn't an option for this weekend. (Despite how crowded the map can get in Attack of the Tyrantclaw, it plays out much more quickly than previous seasons.)</blockquote>
