I think out of the 6 players, maybe 1 or 2 enjoyed much of it. The other 4 claimed to be frustrated, getting headaches, or really bored. There were also arguments after the game about the playing styles of others. I wouldn't be surprised if 2 or more of the players dropped out of the group after the session. It was probably the worst I've run in years. Here's the evidence they had going into it. 1) Guy radiates an evil alignment.2) Pretty good (divine) proof that said evil guy was planning on summoning an undead army in the near future to overrun the city3) Attacking to the point of nearly killing a fellow party member who had snuck into his office and - when caught - tried to surrender I set everything up for a very straightforward confrontation with the BBEG. When he was accused of being evil, he admitted it. When the party accused him of planning to overthrow the city, he said "oh, no - not me." They believed him and left him alone.  While I could have done things differently, it would have been strangely out of character for the campaign and the villain - in which case I would have been just as justified in having the mists of Ravenloft pick them up and drop them on Level 13 of Strahd's castle.  Now I'm going to do something similar to that anyway.Retreater</blockquote>
