The tactics you provided helped me considerably there though! Besh wound up not coming back, due to DM forgetfulness- I decided to have her show up again later, possibly for the final battle instead of right away- then we packed up for the week, and by the next time we played I'd forgotten all about it  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> He was down to DvR 3 by the time they fought him, but was nonetheless causing plenty of trouble. If not for that critical hit, the fight would have been much longer; the wizard was having trouble breaking his SR and only the bladesinger was able to hit him with any kind of regularity. It was a running joke in that campaign that the bladesinger had made some kind of deal with tymora when he got that vorpal sword- I lost count of how many end of adventure BBEGs wound up getting decapitated with it...never the lackeys or wandering monsters, always the big guy!Have you got anything else coming up in Dungeon?
