[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 4399324, member: 11"] I don't know if that was really much of a cliffhanger, but I did like the battle a lot (see below). As for the name of the rapier, I guess you mean the warlock's blade? Well, it doesn't have a name "flick" was just a description of its action in that moment - however, it is a good name for a rapier, or perhaps "flicker" - though there is already an NPC (that will at least be mentioned in an upcoming installment) named "Flicker" after the character from Sagiro's Story hour. I will answer these backwards: 3) Oops! I meant to add a footnote for these as well. The statues were [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Ukko]Ukko[/url] and [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Hiisi]Hiisi[/url]. 2) Laarus really sat out that entire battle, delaying every round. You would have to ask him why he did this, as I still am not 100% I get why he did. But at least Jesse is not the kind of player to make a choice like that and then complain that he has nothing to do, though that would have been of little solace if someone in the group had died while he remained out there. 1) I guess "Great battle!" is not really a question, but I did want to address this since Darkhall-Nestor brought it up as well. I thought this was a very fun battle and to me an example that playstyle has a lot more to do with the perceived problems of 3E combat (and the fixes put forth in 4E) to make it "dynamic". Here we had a battle through a broken down door and curtained alcoves. There was positioning for advantage on the stairs, environmental hazards in the way of the "slick/grease" spell. There were bullrushes and overruns, foes fleeing and regrouping and of course the whole attempt to not actually kill the guardians of the tower which made it more difficult. For those who are curious, the first part of the battle took 14 rounds and the second part took 8. Thanks for reading! [/QUOTE]
