[QUOTE="Gorck, post: 8820450, member: 7037537"] This is the part where you lose me. I don't know exactly how everyone was positioned, and I'm not the most experienced DM, but I would never have done this. I would have had the Cleric cast Shatter on the 2 party members who were still on their feet since they posed an immediate threat, rather than on the 2 downed party members since they were already "neutralized" threats (without running over and making Medicine checks on the Artificer and Sorcerer-Wizard, the Cleric had no idea whether they were dead or still alive). As an intelligent creature, that would be the most logical course of action for the Cleric to me. If it was some kind of mindless creature hellbent on simply conducting vengeance (like a wraith), maybe the proper action would be to continue attacking the downed victim(s). In fact, there's a website called [URL='https://www.themonstersknow.com/']The Monsters Know What They're Doing[/URL] that I refer to all the time for how to roleplay enemies in the most realistic manner.
