[QUOTE="frog, post: 512771, member: 714"] It seems like forever. LOL We ended up taking an unplanned 2 month break because of vacations, illnesses, and holidays. This was the first session back. They all voted to finish the temple ths "quick" way because we are ready to move on. What started out as a "side quest" quickly turned into a long drawn out affair and we are anxious to move the plot forward. We have had some plot here...but mostly it has turned into hack, slash, and repeat. So, it is time to move on. BTW, I agonized for days over this encounter. I wavered between "It's just right" and "I have to be nuts to do this to them." In the end, the druid (who is actually an NPC in the module who is there to help the party) and her Bear were the things that convinced me to let it stand the way it was. A suprise ally wielding powerful magics made up for the fact that there were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many of the baddies for them to handle in the shape that they were in. It also gave me a chance to pull off the kiddie gloves and really sock it to them. The funniest part of the whole thing is when Jeremiah died. The look on Mazi's face was priceless. She was running the character for the 7 year old who had gone to bed. She didn't know how she was going to explain to him that she had gotten his barbarian turned into "Jeremiah Jelly" :D [/QUOTE]
