This has definitely become a challenging encounter, but OOC, I can see where we went wrong. We were surrounded. This immediately focused us to split our focus on enemies. As a party, we lack sufficient AOE impact, where typically at this level, there are least a few characters that have such options. The flanking advantage has worked against us (I will address this on another post) How can we succeed going forward? We need to strategically focus fire. Heavy hitters attacking the same enemy gives us a better chance of dropping enemies faster. This is a great summary video of RPG strategy - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk69XGD-RBA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk69XGD-RBA</a> . It's simplistic, but gives a perspective. (This minimizes opponent strategic options, but still, a helpful description. Continue to get advantage where we can. This needs to be our bread and butter. We need to get advantage where we can, but also see if we can block others from getting advantage. It might even be beneficial to risk an opportunity attack to move to a better position if it means no one can get behind you. Aside from that, we can just run, starting with the first person, we flee (double dash) and attempt to run away. Personally, if it is a TPK, that gives Koop two options. 1. We all die. 2. We are left stable and brought into the Orc HQ for questioning (perhaps intrigued about what Tari mentioned) However, this might still mean some of us die (depending on death saves) That's my thoughts to consider for next session.
