[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 4624364, member: 3146"] Best encounter: Curiously, all of the contenders are from an LFR mod: Impiltur 1-1. The players were going to attack a goblin encampment but there is no real reason to start the encounter with the players in the "place your characters here" box. So I drew out what was visible of the encounter and the players came up with a plan: they were going to split the party with half of the party approaching through the brambles to the south of the goblin encampment and half of them approaching from the north. Pushing their way through the heavy, thorny brambles, the divided party faced stiff resistance from goblins who (barely) heard them coming but prevailed after a challenging fight that saw the rogue climb through a window to get to a goblin sharpshooter who was hiding in the cavern, get shot up and then climb back out the window to follow the goblin as the goblin executed a fighting retreat. Worst Encounter: Again, there are two contenders, but I am going to go with: an elite, insubstantial insane priestess in ruined temple sanctuary filled with smart targetting traps (that the monster can move across with impunity) and difficult terrain. Beating through 100+ insubstantial hit points with a cure serious wounds and a healing word is dull beyond belief. Doing so while being beat on with a spiritual weapon her recharge powers made for serious grindspace. Worst. encounter. concept. ever. [/QUOTE]
