[QUOTE="Milo Windby, post: 100941, member: 202"] Broccli, I agree that some NPC's should play as smart as PC's. One look at the lethal tactics of the kobolds in Rel's campaign can see how well that's worked for them. Milo's (read: mine) main complaint about this last fight was the fact that the room was still half full of bugbears and gnolls, a wicked rogue, and a spell-casting evil priest. Granted, the silence spell puts a hamper on spell casting, but that's when they retreat out of the silence range and set up another ambush...which we would have run head first into. :) Anyway, I hope you see where the PCs were coming from here. Nail, That's three readers! Count em, three. I'm movin' up in the world. :D I agree we need to get together on our tactics and priorities. That priest took Jer out for five rounds. I'm pretty sure Mazi just took a level in wizard (been a couple of weeks) so our range spells just got a whole lot meaner (fireball or lightning bolt anyone?) Good point on the readied action bit. We'll have to see what Frog says about that. I've got one more session to write then we're up to date. Mazi recently gave birth to a junior Frog, so we're still up in the air about the next play session. With as bad as I procrastinate we'll have played by the time I get caught up with the current state of affairs. [/QUOTE]
