I don't think he missed an attack roll once (total attack +5, orc AC around 11), and he was doing heinous amounts of damage: the average orc HP was about 30 (CON 13), and he was typically dishing about 8-10 damage per hit, with two crits, one at 27 damage and one at 33 damage.Greppa really roleplayed his panic-stricken fleeing well. He's the one that mentioned his older sisters making fun of his short legs, and he really freaked out when he failed his Reflex save and fell down.Also, I don't think it really showed very well, but Greppa very nearly died twice. Both spears that hit him were crits, and brought him close to 0. I hated to pick on him like that, but he was really making himself an attractive target.Merideth had a bad day on this one. First, I saddled her with a prophecy that was only useful if she followed it up right then, then she came face to face with how hard it is for a low-level healer to really help in a fight.LevelsThe near-year of soldiering provided the PCs with their 2nd level. When I eventually post their character sheets, I'll show their 1st level version (what they were like going into the military) as well as what they were like when they went into this fight.In short, however, Greppa and Athan both went heavy on the soldiering stuff (BAB, spear proficiency & focus, etc.), while Merideth continued to work on her magic. After this scenario, she has assured me that she will be focusing on her fighting abilities next level.</blockquote>
