The mage used his familiar to guide it down the tunnel. Suffice it to say, our tactics matched what they tried.Gnolls with a 14 strength and no athletics skill to speak off are pretty strong eh. The odds are still not in their favor.Or the Fang would think he was going to win with his sons and attack the person in front of him. Which he did, which is also a completely reasonable course of action.They did not. They conga lined archers behind their fang leader thinking he and his sons would win. He certainly did. Your second guessing after the fact because you don't play that way. I see no reason why gnolls wouldn't fight a few rounds thinking their chieftain and his sons would win. We took him down very quickly. Like I said in other post, damage is heavily in our favor.You would come to throw those encounters at us and we could smoke them. You're playing armchair QB right now without realizing how fast things went down or how much damage a group of characters can do even at level 3. I can't explain to you the round by round that went down and I'm not going to. We won fair and square using solid tactics against tactics gnolls would use.No, we wouldn't. Armchair QBing aside, the tactics were well-executed and involved more than I'm listing. I listed the final area we fought. We took out part of the gnolls prior to that enegagement. Which is why the chief massed his tribe to start with and came with the rest of his living gnolls.I'd bet money we smoke your CR 8 encounters against gnolls. They're weak. There was a lot more to the encounter than I'm going to take the time to post on this board.  We staggered our ranged attackers to hit the gnolls as they were running after us. Explaining every single tactic that went into that fight would take too much time. I'd bet money we smoke your CR 8 encounters under the same conditions. I'd bet money it would only become worse for you as we gained levels until you were doing exactly as we do: making CR encounters far above normal just to provide some kind of challenge.You want to talk some smack from afar because you hear a little piece of information and think of a way to counter it after the fact. When you were in the moment, you would be experiencing what we were doing and seeing that you didn't have much means to turn it against us. If you did try your tactics, you would find us adjusting ours.</blockquote>
