Level 3 Party vs CR 6 Wyvern
Party
Zealot Barbarian with Savage Attacker Origin feat and a greataxe.
Ranger (not sure subclass).
Warlock (not sure subclass).
Moon Druid with Tough Origin feat.
Note: We had just leveled between sessions. Neither player applied any combat bonuses from their subclass in the encounter.
TLDR. Wyvern connected on the barbarian 1 time with a tail attack before it died on round 2. After resistance and saves the Barbarian took 17 points of damage. We were lucky in landing attacks with decent damage rolls.
