If I had thought about it then I would have made merry with the encounters- started adding to them and/or increasing the levels of the bad guys, as it was we were having such a good time in-game...I do make some changes to the set encounters later on with this adventuring group, however I don't honestly remember when I started with the changes, and likely will only find out when I start to stat up the later adventures of this group- I don't think I made any changes for this scenario.It is of course the case that we have played through far too many of the random encounters- which is something we did in KOTS, the story is the players are still loving the game- combat heavy as it is, although you need to know that there's still plenty of RP before and after encounters. It probably seems slow reading through these sessions but again, at the time, we were just having far too much fun- sometimes the game is just a bunch of friends that need some reason to rib/chide and or celebrate each others achievements and failures. A silly game in which each player pretends to be some heroic fantasy figure, beset by traps, trials and terrible monsters just happens to bring out the smiles for us.And thus we continue...Stats: The PCs with a 73.33% connection rate, which is pretty awesome, the bad guys with only 55.56% in response. The PCs with 22 hits from 30 attacks, the bad guys with 15 hits from 27 attacks- notice both sides made a similar number of attacks- thank to the Phalagar, and a Stunned Dwarf.Individual connection rate-55.56% Kaspard (5 from 9)60% Phrenic (3 from 5)80% Dirty (4 from 5)83.33% Grey (5 from 6)100% Winstanley (5 from 5)The PCs averaged 45.29 HP damage/turn against the bad guys with 25.57 HP damage/turn- it needs to be noted that until the 5th round of combat the bad guys had done more damage to the PCs than the other way around.While one hour twenty minutes is a long time to play for an PC LVL -1 encounter it needs to be said that the game, and this encounter in particular, is still proving to be great fun for both me and the players.Dave (Dirty) nearly exploded after his double Stun, although James (Phrenic) had to tell him what the effects of Stun are.</blockquote>
