---- Happy Birthday, Zeim!!!

Good ideas, guys, thanks. I should be grateful that these combats are only lasting three rounds. School kids can take a looong time to finish their turn.

So by that rationale I've decided to keep pushing higher CR encounters at them and simply have a contingency plan if I TPK.

For example, Dragon of Icespire Peak has the PCs sallying around Phandalin, saving one resident after the other from various threats (caused by the titular dragon). When the PCs fight the dragon they'll be 3rd-level versus the CR6 dragon. In the event of a TPK I can have all the residents they've saved turn up to save them. A sort of angry mob that can get the PCs back on their feet without stealing the limelight. It might even seem like a reward for the PCs heroics so far.

Zhu

She shrugs. "He can just come back, but not critical to do that."

Aubric

"That seems a dangerous assumption in the case it doesn't," he cautions.

Zhu

"If we assume that this river to the left rejoins the main passage beyond the split then anyone who can travel in water, like Davroar, could go that way while the rest go to the right?" She offers a suggestion.

[OOC: I see Korean in Skye's background, French in Henri's and Welsh in Emma's. Anything I've missed? ]

The voices are male and getting louder.

Jaliera

"I'm with them using my bow and staying away from fire."

She blushes slightly, not at ease with her weakness but at least able to verbalise it now.

Busy few days coming up! Visitors from tonight right through until Sunday evening. Might get time to post, might not,

OK thanks!

Pumping up the underdogs...

[OOC: Quick clarifications - male and/or female voices? You seem to indicate too far away to know the language - unless there is someone in our group that speaks it.]

LOL. That's exactly what I tagged it with.

Lord Foxglove

"Oh, I completely agree that this prize is worthy of all the tales that can be told. No, let the others grow up and become as mighty as this one. It is a rare thing to see such a beast, never mind be a party to taking it down. Though, to be completely fair, all of you did the work.

"No, this is another success for the Heroes of Sandpoint. That is for sure."

It takes a bit of effort to roll the boar this way and that, trussing the feet in such a way that it can be tied to the saddle horn. It might be easier to drag it on a litter or some other method, but no one has suggested such a thing. To those who are knowledgeable, it would seem that this is the largest kill that Lord Foxglove has been a party to. Smaller boars would be handled in the way that he is suggesting.
