Demogorgon article? I'm searching the WotC site, and I'm not finding it.
The Demonicom article contained a little note of Demogorgons Savage Tides plan.

Personally the Demogorgon article annoyed me more.
How ever with a little preperation Im sure you and your group could over come this difficulty. The AP's provide an excellent oppourtunity to learn the rules. So then the next AP (or whatever) 14+ adventure you play in you will all be better prepared to deal with it. Yep. Preparation is the key. While my group know the rules well enough we don't have any major arcane or divine spellcasters which means I have to pay extra attention to every upcoming event in the path to ensure that they either have the means to bypass/deal with it or time to equip themselves to do so.
1 Post = 5 deaths :) Memory is a bit fuzzy though :s PC: Human Fighter 1
After an epic fight between the pirates/thugs and the PCs I can safely say that the small scorpion spider hybrid wasn't what they expected to see and they sure as hell didn't expect it to just about wipe out the whole party. Only one fatality but could easily have been them all... PC: Human Fighter 3 (Same guy ^^)
I'd say no less than 15 criticals were involved in this fight, about 7 on each side and 3 on Harliss which put her very close to biting the bullet which would have been interesting and annoying. Unfortunately the unlucky fighter met his demise from 2 criticals...it was messy... PC: Brissa Fighter 2 / Rogue 2 (NPC)
Brissa had actually been returned back to full health by a member of the party and as a reward for this action I decided Brissa would act as a cohort for said PC (I also required the PC to spend around a month with her just keeping her from offing herself over everything she'd been through). Anyway the party actually were under the impression the Slaad planted in Father Feres had been an assassination attempt on the group and after a brief sidequest called 'Slaughter all the cultists' they were blocked from killing the High Priest (Obviously not too high!) from an implanted Blue Slaad in a poor guard. Suffice to say that the bully nature of the Blue Slaad meant that poor weak looking females are a tempting and all too vulnerable target. PC: Dwarf Scout 4 / Ranger 1
Lack of attention can be blamed for this death. The party had successfully beaten the creature down to around 10-20HPs when the Scout decided to risk his Spring Attacked AC against the ooze despite the party tactics working brilliantly up until that point...it did not go well. PC: Halfling Fighter 5
Not much of a story here. After defeating the Vargoille with the aid of the little ball of spite and rage it turned on them and a critical result of x3 damage (Crit Threat Deck) was more than sufficient for the already badly wounded fighter. |
