The whole troll deal is especially funny to me. As if the unofficial creed of every adventurer isn't 'everything burns'.
Constructs and undead are nice because you don't have to ask questions about how they eat and breath and other science facts.On the topic of monsters I like to use/encounter in game, I’m actually a big fan of Constructs, especially when they can be used in creative ways that don’t just amount to being typical dungeon monsters.
I can feel the pain in your story.My bane: Stirges.
Playing LMNOP we reached the final cavern and my Message-equipped Bard / Rogue scouted ahead. The stirges got Surprise AND beat my initiative, for two free rounds of attacks. When the "phone line" suddenly went dead, the rest of the group charged up in battle order ... to find a severely dehydrated and very pale PC failing Death Saves, for no obvious reason.
They put me back in rough working order. That retired adventurer still looks like he needs a jug of Gatorade and a transfusion in the worst way.
I love stirges for this exact reason, giant mozzies are dreadfulMy bane: Stirges.
