It was a real nail bitter of a session.Yes, it was probably the most combat we've ever had in one session aside from the Emerald Claw temple assault in Karnath and that was mostly low level fights aside from two fights at the end. It was really the Athacs that were killing us. The naga's were nasty and their spells did most of the damage, but because of the athacs we couldn't get to them and the athacs were doing enough damage to drop pretty much any of us in a single round. So we couldn't get in there to go after the nagas. The athacs were advanced in HD and had a single level of barbarian, both of which synergize extremely well. Combine them with some heavy caster support and a near TPK was the result. Luna, Korm and Gareth were all down. Nameless was barely hanging on with like 3 hp. Even Six (who often manages to walk away without a scratch) had sustained a fair amount of damage.Things probably would have been different, if we hadn't burned all of our other direct damage spells in the three earlier fights. Since we could have pounded the Naga's directly and they weren't nearly as tough as the Athacs. I was in fact going to burn Nameless's summon for Kha’tvan’ga when we were fighting the plant creature (An advanced Tendriculos with the pseudonatural template, IIRC). Which probably would also have resulted in a TPK, since it's spell resistance negated almost all of the spells it was hit with and that sucked up a lot of potential damage. But Shil did talk me out of that (the plant creature was a lot closer to dead than I was under the impression it was).Oh the Delver also had the Pseudonatural template as well. Thus the "abnormal" Spell resistance.</blockquote>
