[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5273415, member: 16069"] H1 Keep on the Shadowfell Encounter #20 Area 15: Corridor of the Cube. Round #9. Grey- Move back. Magic Missile GC; Miss. Dirty- Move. Reaping Strike GC; Hit 14 damage- DEAD. Time to play 2 minutes. Total time to play 1 hour & 10 minutes. End of Combat- Good Guys Dirty Biskit, Male Dwarven Fighter 3 (HP13/43) Kaspard, Female Half-Elf Cleric of Bahamut 3 (HP31/35) Winstanley Portico, Male Halfling Rogue 3 (HP18/35) Grey Morlock, Male Human Wizard 3 (HP31) Phrenic, Male Tiefling Warlord 3 (HP24/34) Bad Guys 750XP Level 3 Encounter. Corruption Corpse Level 4 Artillery [CC] (x2) (HP46) 2 DEAD Gelatinous Cube Level 5 Elite Brute [GC] (HP152) DEAD Action Points 0 Total 1 Daily Powers 0 Total 3 Healing Surges 0 Total 4 2nd Winds 0 Total 1 Crits 0 Total 2 PCs Ko'd 0 Total 0 Monster AP 0 Total 1 Comment: Why do the good always die young. He was an excellent Gelatinous Cube, a little misunderstood perhaps, who knows in different circumstances he may have made friends with the PCs. Right after he'd sucked the marrow from their bones. The PCs take a well earned rest, scrape the acidic jelly off themselves and take a look around, a +1 Safewing Amulet is discovered, as well as a number of pieces of jewellery, mementos of Sir Keegan's dead family. Stats: A prolonged encounter for a variety of reasons, such as the late appearance of the Cube, the difficulty of using Grey's artillery capability, and the fact that all the bad guys Hit Points are stacked in one creature. Phrenic hit with 100% of his attacks, it's a shame he only got to make three attacks as the rest of the time he was eating acid slime. All of the other PCs below 60% connection rate, with Kaspard down to 33.33% and Winstanley, of all people, only hitting 57.14% of the time, and that's with +5 To Hit the Cube. Overall PCs connection rate 56.25%, that's in contrast to the bad guys with 77.78%. Quite a turn-around. This is mitigated by the fact that the PCs still managed to connect with 18 attacks (from 32), while the bad guys only made 18 attacks in total (and hit 14 times). Also many of the monsters attacks delivered no initial damage (from the Cube), they did however effectively prevent engulfed PCs from doing anything the following turn- other than staying alive and/or escaping the Cube. And so for the reasons stated above the fight took quite a while to play through. Combined Stats: Two tough encounters at Level 3, average play time 8 Turns for 64 minutes, also average level of encounters 5, which is enough to test the PCs. Overall, after 19 combat encounters in total, the average level is 4.37 (Level +1.37), time to play 6.42 Turns for 50.63 minutes. Grey stretching the lead slightly with damage done over Winstanley, 1255 versus 1158, Winstanley however still on top with connection rate at 75.86% against Grey (in 2nd place) with 63.98%. Of note is Grey's new encounter power- Fire Shroud which is already a firm favourite- 80% connection rate (8 from 10) it has already delivered 93 hit points damage, and he's only used it twice. Dirty does the most damage on average/hit with 14.32 points of damage, shame he only hits 54.76% of the time- the least of all of the PCs. Winstanley does the second most damage per hit with 13.16 points of damage, the joys of Sneak Attack. Just a quick look at the PCs Daily Power usage (connection rate and damage done)- Grey has not used any of his Daily Powers five times. 22.22% (2 from 9) Kaspard Beacon of Hope 53.85% (7 from 13) Dirty Brute Strike Total damage 170 Average 24.29 damage 80% (4 from 5) Phrenic Lead the Attack Total damage 67 Average 16.75 damage 80% (4 from 5) Winstanley Trick Strike Total damage 75 Average 18.75 damage One last thing, the PCs are already well on the way to Level 4, a cumulative effect of delaying their Extended Rests, most of the PCs have 3,500 XP already, they only need 3,750 for Level 4. Why this is particularly of note is the players are desperately trying to get to Level 4, we decided at the start of the game to play the pregen characters exactly as written, the players have not made any choices of their own as regards their characters so far, Level 4 will be their first opportunity to do so.
