That's reasonable, so I'll drop a hint or two early on that they're outnumbered and outgunned, and if it starts to go south, well...bad Intelligence scores don't mean suicidal." That was probably expected to form the basis for a longer campaign where you know who your enemies are.Meanwhile, it sounds like your group wasn't expecting to face any encounters that would be beyond what they could handle, to the point of staying in the fight even when the first hit you took was wildly stronger than what you guys could bring to bear in response.To reiterate some terms that are popular here, you guys were expecting combat as sports, whereas your GM was expecting combat as war.</blockquote>
