Sorry for the slow pace of the battle too...but if it makes you feel any better, this is pretty much four encounters rolled into one. :D
 


Well, we seem to be holding our own at this point.

I'm just worried about what that withdrawing bugbear is up to?

Once we clear the bugbears, then Ragnok's axe combining with Verdis' blast and our other swords/hammers should see us clear. I'm assuming that Kurt will have to do some major healing pretty shortly.

And so much for Kurt's idea to withdraw to a defendable position!
 

Funnily enough, that doesn't make me feel any better at all!! :p

I remember back in the AD&D days, it was always like you'd fight your way room to room, and nobody would hear the battle happening beyond their door and come to check. Now, maybe I just had some mediocre DMs back then, but it always struck me as very (and I hesitate to use this word to describe anything in D&D) unrealistic.

So, 3.x allows me to give the bad guys listen checks if they are in fairly close proximity to the battles, which ends up making things a little more interesting (if a bit more difficult for the PCs). :D

Well, we seem to be holding our own at this point.

Indeed, better than I would have expected. OMEGA group had one PC killed, one knocked unconscious twice, and every melee character in single digit hit points by the end of this same encounter. Granted, they were a level lower than you are for the same fight, but still.

I'm just worried about what that withdrawing bugbear is up to?

Oh, and be glad I'm making mods to the module as we go along. The original encounter here called for:

6 ordinary bugbears
2 "leader" bugbears
4 ogres
1 hill giant
1 worg

That would be a little bit more difficult, especially under 3.x rules where giants can be truly feared!

We would have been forced to withdraw to a betting fighting position, along the lines Kurt espoused before we kicked this off :)
