Re: The Twilight Tomb: OOC
And there you go. Well done! That was a close-run thing, until you started working together better and turned your fortunes around at the end.
I gave the XP out, but I'll let you decide how you respond to the fleeing gnoll ranger. The result, I'm guessing, a foregone conclusion...
Was there a problem with my handling of the battle? Updating events in the middle of the round meant less work-load for me (like a few PC resolutions and an NPC action, instead of making time to account for everything at once), but it seemed to confuse you, with folks acting before their time. Should I have made it clearer?
Let me know if you have any other complaints, criticisms, ideas, or whatnot for my DMing style.
All this time, and we still haven't actually gotten to the published adventure yet. Partly due to the early hassles, and PC introductions, and random encounters, and efforts to bring everyone together on the mission. I was almost ready to abandon the whole thing and start an 'escape from the gnolls' plotline when it looked like they would win. Once you're ready, I'll speed things along to the stone circle.
