The 1-2 punch with good initiative using shroud and action point breath was brutal. Hit 3 of the 4 characters (barbarian had lucky initiative and got out of breath formation), rolled well on damage, and after taking the ongoing 10 damage they would all have gone down, if it weren't for the druid who spent two standard actions with an action point (he was the one that got missed by the breath) to remove the shroud from 2 of the people (luckily his initiative was before the others). But the party just didn't have enough resources to come back from that, despite the barbarian critting with his daily. Those tail slaps are nasty, took the bard down on his own turn. When the breath recharged a second time, it was game over. Party composition was Dwarf Fighter, Goliath Barbarian, Tiefling Warlock (who never got an action), Half-elf Bard, and Human Druid. The Druid was never able to attack anything, spending his turns healing people, and in the end ran off when there wasn't anybody alive to heal.I'll run it through a second level party, see if they fair any better. Some magic items like dwarven armor, and those second level utilities should help bounce back from the initial onslaught.On a less related side note, if you're trying to win this fight with 1st level PC's, take Moment of Glory cleric with Healer's Mercy, and you have a good shot.</blockquote>
