Light spoilers below: This was very different from their first encounter with vampire spawn. Oh how the turn tabled. The curbstomping was deeply satisfying.

@MorinehtarTheBlue 10 ай бұрын

Big difference in levels and magic items. But better dice rolls were rather important too. And yes it was deeply satisfying that they killed three Brides compared to that one guy (who's purpose and affiliation weren't even revealed).

Gotta love that hideous laughter :3 one of my favorite spells as a bard.

@CaptainInvisible1 3 жыл бұрын

Its one of those little level one gems that can do a lot of good. Our bard used it on a bandit when we were outnumbered 5 to 3, that poor bandit was laughing all the way through the fight and died with a smile on his face.

@@CaptainInvisible1 Funny you mention that campaign. I played a bard on Hoard Of The Dragon Queen and there is a big troll at one point that has like 5 attacks. It's stupidly powerful and almost 1 shot our paladin to death... Not unconcious... Death. Thankfully we had a grave cleric who reversed a crit but we could tell we were wayyyy in over our heads. So... I tried fear... Resisted... Next round I used Tashas Hideous Laughter and it hit. We bolted and because it was incapitated from laughing we ran. Our DM said prior if we ran he would need stealth checks and such to see if we got away or if it caught up. Instead he rolled 3 times to see if the spell broke and all 3 times it failed so we got a head start and lost it XD annnnnd then later I used tiny hut to make sure we were safe for resting :P

@anaporsadica9894 3 жыл бұрын

I don't know anything about the Curse of Strahd campaign aside from what I've learned watching these videos. It seems like Strahd's ability to track the party is related to Tatiana being with them. They really need to find a way to cancel/manipulate whatever it is facilitating that, or else he's just going to continue stalking them or sending minions after them. But they haven't focused on that yet...
