[QUOTE="Robtheman, post: 5237368, member: 89625"] Session 1 Technical Notes The Krakken was composed of 3 creature types: The head: (1) Level 3 elite controller based on a Blue Slime stat block The clawed tentacles: (2) Level 2 soldier based on Bloodthorn Vine The primary tentacles (8) Level 2 minion controllers based on deleveled Vine Horrors The session was built for 5 level 1 characters. One character did not show up. This made it a level +2/3 encounter. The party ended up missing a lot of attacks, but this was remedied by a number of great uses of "Do Something Awesome" encounter cards, which are based entirely on Rel and Piratecats houserule. The sailors helped out a bit by killing some minions and keeping them busy while the party focused on the Clawed Tentacles and the Head. Brez used his Do Something Awesome card to hastily cast Tenser's Floating Disc before the ship capsized. Jetberry used hers to use her lute string as a magical garrot, severing the claws off one tentacle and freeing Kage from it's grasp. Kage swung onto the creatures head to stab it, and also inspect the large gem. When Kage was subsequently thrown from the creatures head and clung desperately to the side of the ship, Aleck came to his rescue, hurling him back on deck. The intention was to start them off with a bang and leave them in charge of their destiny. The party used all their dailies, encounters and heals and came dangerously close to KO's. I shudder to think what this evil and unaligned party would have done if one of them had been unconscious when the ship capsized. [/QUOTE]
