champions of Krynn was a cakewalk compared to this

pls stop throwing 50 hob goblins at my level 1 party

Did you start a fight in the square when you were supposed to be watching the auction?

I have no idea what you’re talking about. This is an encounter in the sewers with the hobgoblin archers

Just trying to figure out how you ran into 50 hobgoblins at lvl 1.

USian public education. The actual number was 4.

 

[octavius]

The actual number is probably 7. One Sleep spell should solve the problem.

 

[Butter]

The real kick in the balls is when you get 21 exp for that encounter.

 

[smaug]

Grinded to level 2 and came back and killed everything.

now I need a fireball spell…

 

[smaug]

Can’t kill these stupid trolls because there’s no fireball spell and this stupid well where I get surprised by kobalts constantly

crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal

 

[smaug]

Does Hold Person work on Ogre’s or trolls?

You'd need the much higher level hold monsters for that.

Spoiler

Sleep can work on one ogre though, which is a totally worthwhile use of that spell. Be careful how you aim.

The cheese strategy is to move someone onto the troll's spot so he can't get back up again.

Isn't Burning Hands fire damage?

 

[The Limper]

Isn't Burning Hands fire damage?

Yep…. It exist for trolls, otherwise its weak.

It is unavoidable damage. It is helpful, especially at high levels, as it doesn't have a cap, IIRC.

Stinking cloud, oil flasks... going elsewhere and leveling up first...

 

[octavius]

Stinking cloud,

The most powerful spell in the game, and works quite well on Trolls.
And as someone else mentioned, try to Sleep one of the Ogres.
You can also use Hirelings. The lvl 4 Hero is a good front fighter.

The best spell to use on dragons prior to DBF...
