DM NOTES There are just times when my die rolls are smoking hot! crit central! or, like this session....snake eyes and single digits. Ugh. Needless to say, luck, coupled along with good ol' fashioned player smarts, some horrible DM rolls can and do affect the outcome of any particular game, and this was definitely no exception. How quickly the tables can turn and lead to a blood bath of epic proportions! The body count still hasn't come up yet, so stay tuned for next session. Who knows, maybe things might take a turn for the worse and the over confidence may become a handicap...stay tuned!

QUICK READ RECAP Short version: Fight, fight and fight some more! Long version: Immediately after finishing their battle from last session, the lizard man chief appears and notifies the party to either relocate to some other place in the lair, to finish their humanoid hunt, or stand and fight, because a massive effort had been put forward to destroy the adventurers, all due to them losing their cover of anonymity and secrecy because of two frightened lizard men warriors running through the entire lair, looking as if they had seen a ghost (previously affected by the priest's fear spell), alerting all of the opposing faction members! The party quickly decides to stand and fight, and taking the chief's advice, they stack the bodies from the previous fight strategically to their advantage. With only moments to spare, the party quickly finds themselves being overrun by lizard men as far as the eye can see! DM SESSION LOG 150307 Spells memorized.
