Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 6235535" data-attributes="member: 63">When I ran this encounter for my playtest group, the group got to the orphanage and tried yelling to get Ekossigan's attention. (After hearing Ekossigan's poem, one PC had written a limerick, thinking that's how fey lords communicate.) The rogue managed to sneak through the trees and come up behind Gale while the rest of the party was causing a distraction and killing gremlins, and right when Ekossigan finished his speech, he garrotted Gale. He managed to get her bloodied before she was able to escape, and so most of her actions were devoted to trying to move rather than screw with the rest of the party.And I had her break free from her compulsion once bloodied, but the rogue PC did not believe her. Gale had flown out over a gap with a 100 ft. drop beneath her, to give herself some breathing room, and the PC just jumped on her, garrotted her again, and rode her until she fell unconscious. They both plummeted 100 feet, fell to really nasty negatives, and only survived because the party killed Ekossigan and triggered his life bloom before they failed 3 death saves.In hindsight, Gale probably should have just attacked the PC instead of trying to break the grab, but there are tactics and then there's what's realistic for a woman not used to having magic storm powers. Plus Ekossigan was doing a fine job tearing through the party in melee.So okay, buff some enemy stats in the hardcover compilation.</blockquote>
