[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4825579, member: 10784"] The combat encounter was last night and it was a great, epic struggle for the PCs - one PC died, but was luckily in range to be [i]Revivified [/i] before his soul departed his body; another PC dropped to -9, but stabilized thanks to his [i]Die Hard[/i] ability. One long-running major NPC ally was killed when the Goristro dropped him to -28 with a massive blow - unfortunately, he was not in range to be Revivified. The party cleric was dropped to single digits in hit points twice, and both the psion and sorcerer were banged up as well. Things looked pretty dicey for the party when the blackguard's [i]Blasphemy[/i] dazed all four of the frontline fighters, and the blackguard's mage minion managed to zap the party's goliath barbarian with [i]Ray of Enfeeblement[/i] followed by [i]Ray of Clumsiness[/i]. The Clumsiness ray dropped her 8 Dex to the minimum of 1. The minion did miss the elf paladin with his first ray attack, though, and was never in position to cast his [i]Stinking Cloud[/i]. However, the party ended up pulling it out in the end - they finally did enough damage to the [i]Goristro[/i] to take it down, and the psion rolled a Crit on one of his Ranged Touch attacks and did an insane amount of damage on the Blackguard. So, thanks to the folks who gave me all the good advice - it was a fun battle for me to DM, though it did take a good four hours to complete (7 PCs, 1 NPC ally vs 3 major bad guys, 3 major minions and about 10 minor minions...)
