They were down Oakwood and Xeelie but decided to press forward until they hit a fight where it was clear the smaller group was in over their heads. They crushed a group of Ice Cubes (frozen Gelatinous Cubes). They smeared a pair of Ochre Jellies. That was a bit of a slog since they were immune to most normal attacks. TerStehgen insisted Clarissa pick up all the crap from that encounter since it could net the group 10s of silver pieces each. FYI: Clarissa has about 10 Bulk worth of miscellaneous “group” stuff in her bag. In the last encounter, they were quickly in over their heads. It went like this:
Round 1 -
The hidden monster stayed hidden and prepared an attack once a PC came into reach.
Briscoe spotted the hidden monster.
TerStehgen ran forward, did some damage and took maybe 20HP from a single attack (and made a DC26 Will save).
Clarissa did maybe 35HP with Force Barrage.
Round 2 -
The monster Critically Hit TerStehgen who made a critical save (making him immune to that portion of the attack going forward).
And then the monster hit a second time and down went the Fighter.
They stopped there. Assuming we add one or more characters next time, they will roll initiative and get slotted into the combat based on that. They are at 27 in the order with the monster having just gone, so don’t roll too high or you’ll miss the round. Can Oakwood or Xeelie save the day? Or more likely, distract the monster long enough for Brisco to heal TerStegan so that he can save the day.
The GM expects the survivors to make 7th level at the end of the next game as this level of the dungeon is almost complete. So, start planning.
