[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5067484, member: 463"] One thought that occurred to me was that it might have gone better if you had sought to create/maintain a battle-line at the top of the cliff, rather than spreading out so much - eg you could have all done your Move actions to move up to the cliffftop, then held your Standard actions until everyone was up there in some kind of order. That would probably have meant the Rogue/Sorc and Fighter taking far less damage early on, so the Bard wouldn't have been expending resources keeping them up. Of course when bunched up you'd have been more vulnerable to area attacks like the Plague Priest's Swarm of Flies, but against vastly superior numbers it would probably be worth it. This was probably a fight where 2 Defenders working in concert to create a perimeter would have helped a lot too; your 1 Controller/1 Leader/1 Defender/3 Striker array hits very hard but was quite fragile, especially as your only Defender Monty was a greatsword Fighter and charged into the orcs like a Barbarian. :) [/QUOTE]
