Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joe Liker" data-source="post: 6342836" data-attributes="member: 6777505">Here's how the first encounter went with my group.(I had next to no influence over strategy, by the way, as I was keeping my mouth shut about the few spoilers I had seen online.)We spotted the [spoiler]dead horses[/spoiler] and sent our rogue to scout, so we were not completely surprised. The wizard and cleric hung back a ways and waited for the two fighters to deal with the [spoiler]horse corpses[/spoiler]. When the fight broke out, the rogue was adjacent to [spoiler]a goblin with a scimitar and one of the bowmen[/spoiler], so there was little danger of a wizard death due to focused fire.One of the fighters charged [spoiler]the other bowman[/spoiler], so the wizard and cleric felt confident enough to approach and provide ranged support. [spoiler]The other melee goblin charged our second fighter[/spoiler], so he stayed in the road to fight.The rogue did go down eventually due to being outnumbered on his side, but by that point the enemies were on the ropes and we just had to mop up. The cleric ran over and stabilized him before he had to worry about a second death save, so it was all good.It all seemed pretty straightforward and not terribly prone to level-one death syndrome. The enemies were scary, but not too deadly. I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to suffer a party wipe. Or possibly just inexperienced with RPGs, in which case the DM should be cutting you a lot of slack.</blockquote>
