That was a fun game, now we get to spend a few days realizing all the things we did wrong, or forgot. I'll go first, lol:
- I meant to drop poly on my turn just before dying, so I could cast Sickening Radiance. "From hell's heart, I stab at thee!"
- I forgot my resistance to Radiant damage, it would have halved around 60 damage from Delgrim (saving me 30 dmg ish), and given me maybe 1 or 2 more turns.
- I went to Delgrim. Ahhh Devil's Sight... my ambivalence for you is strong tonight.
Aside from that and some minor choices that are inevitable, I'm happy and really enjoyed it. In the end Pej tanked 305 damage! And I know he can do more... 😉
Thank you Derek... my insomnia sends its happy regards.
Partially reposted from the rules since I can't seem to delete that response:
Amazing fight all round!! I really thought either Erik or Boklinok was going to kill me near the end when I got down to 13 HP. I also forgot to add some healing properly - Laris you'd actually be up another 8 HP. 🙃Â Â
- I kept confusing my action economy *facepalm*.Â
- Maelstrom is a crazy spell, thanks for your patience everyone! I will happily try that on some enemies in the future.Â
- Remember Mirror Image when someone hits me. 😆Â
- So many spells makes for difficult choices, perhaps a flow chart is in order. Â
- We definitely have good survivability as a group.Â
- I'm so proud of Bimz being the only creature to open one of the boxes. ❤️ 🤣Â
Thank you everyone, that was fun!! Thank you again, Derek, for all of the juggling!! 👍
Yep that was pretty epic! Glad you had fun and really happy that the staff let us stay late to finish it up! Lots of things happened much differently from how I anticipated, which frankly is what I anticipated would happen.... heheh.
It's interesting that the group basically opted to mostly ignore the coins and just kill the enemy, I think that's why the event took so long. I may think of ways to redesign it to force a shorter match.
And now I have a whole other map and scenario planned for the solo Battle Royale match that we didn't use. I wonder if there would be enough interest to give that a whirl in the near future? Â
Also the video experiment did work! Now I have to figure out how to get a video file that is 3 hours and 45 minutes long off my phone and onto the internet so we can all relive the glory and agony!! 😀
I dwarvenly resemble those tags! the short and smelly part at least! If we'd been on the same team that would have been a killer teamup to stay in there and hit anyone who comes in and stave off spell damage. We could have camped the coins too. on the drive home I realized I messed up a couple of times, i accidentally added hexblades curse +4 dmg to a couple hits on Laris, accidentally added +4 save bonus on top of itself once and should have failed a save, forgot to halve a couple of spell damage hits so might have lived longer.
Definitely a good way to learn your partys capabilities, though I find I vastly prefer not harming my teammates 😛
If I had prepped the char for pvp instead of Strahd I would have made Delgrim a fingerwiggler wizard and cast blink, doing fireballs / tidal waves then spending most turns safe on the ethereal plane eating snacks and watching the carnage.
