Today my party is about to tackle the Ruins of Thundertree. I didn't really plan much for it so I decided to pull out what I had available and come up with some sort of visual setup. This took me about an hour going through my stuff to come up with something I liked. I used a combination of my 2.5d next modular walls, my 3d printed True Tiles, some 3d Printed trees, and my Frostgrave trees. I think it came out pretty good for the little time I invested in it. Now lets just hope the party spends a little time here rather than just running off

I am not sure what the party is going to do. They told me 2 weeks ago before we took our Christmas break that they were going to help the druid by "killing" the Dragon. The druid asked for help driving him off but they immediately took that as kill him. We'll see how it goes. Might have some new characters before the night is through.

Well they never made it. They decided they wanted to clear all of Thundertree tonight. The only thing left is the dragon so they decided to leave it for next week. That gives me a week to plan. I think I am going to build a multi-story tower to play out the whole battle. Should be a good time.

In both 1e and 2e, flying creatures can't fly after losing like 75% of their HP -- they'd have to walk. Just something to file away for planning... The dragon will know this, but the players should not. Happy tactics! Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!

Yeah I was actually just reading about them earlier. Not sure yet what I am going to do. I need to plan something out for this encounter as well as plan Cragmaw Castle...if they make it past Thundertree. Also need to plan a level 1 introductory adventure if they DON'T make it past Thundertree

Lair Actions can literally brings players disaster if they aren't high enough level. same with legendary actions. that said, this fight in the book is supposed to be a flight type of situation. where players are level 3 and he is CR 8, which is a 3 times deadly encounters. this encounter is't supposed to be a cake walk. so i say go for broke.

druid:"Do you need healing ?"
knight:"i still have half of my health, so im fine."
DM:"the boss, crits, max damage which does 20 damage !"
Knight:"MEDIC !!!!"
