[I feel like these monsters are bigger than us.]

[Failed heals don't hurt.

When you're unconscious your whole turn consists of rolling a save vs. death - 3 failures in one day and you're dead, a natural 20 heals you without other intervention. I would wait and see if Derath decides to heal you or do something else first, though.

Same-level monsters will always have more hp than the PCs (with the exception of minions), because in theory they do significantly less damage/other effects than the PCs. Someone forgot to tell these hobgoblins that, though.]

1st level is usually pretty painful too. That's why 4E gives you more HP at 1st level compared to previous editions.

[It does explain why my DM decided we'd just level up after the first session we played of 4th ed instead of following the normal XP rules.]

[Kuildeous]

[I'm actually against XP rules in general. I played a 3E Midnight game where I suggested that the GM doesn't give us XP. He would give us a level only after story milestones. It was actually pretty satisfying. I'm in a 13th Age game now, and I'm happy to see that they have adopted that tactic. No XP. Just level up at milestones, though 13th Age took it a step further and has incremental advances. You can increase one aspect of your level like skill advance, hit points, spells, etc. So, you can still "level up" a few times before you do your main level.]

All right, no takers on flanking, which doesn't surprise me since our melee people are recuperating. I can't tank for long, but I can keep him busy for a round.

Move: G4
Minor: Stone's Endurance
Standard: Twin Strike

I really should keep my roll text somewhere so I can copy and paste.

Rolled 1d20+6 : 11 + 6, total 17

Rolled 1d10+1 : 3 + 1, total 4

Rolled 1d20+6 : 8 + 6, total 14

Rolled 1d6+1 : 4 + 1, total 5

[Kuildeous]

And a lotta whiffing.

When our melee people are back up, don't expect me to stay in that spot for long, but I can hang around long enough to provide flanking. We're going to need to draw him out into the open and possible aid each other to overcome that AC.

This is what I do, levels at milestones.
 
If somebody misses a session or otherwise would not gain XP, he lingers a bit.
Never really had people use XP for paying for stuff, but that can come into play and you can reduce "by heart", I think.

[This is what I usually do in systems I play in that have more numeric XP systems. It takes a lot of the complexity out of it. That said I usually play Dungeon World these days which levels you pretty fast anyways.]

Move: H5 (I think this gives me a flanking bonus)
Standard: Booming Blade at soldier
Minor: Mark him with shield of sigils.

vs AC:

Rolled 1d20+9 : 9 + 9, total 18

Damage:

Rolled 1d8+4 : 7 + 4, total 11

[Jorbles]

[If this guy kills us it'll be pretty hilarious.]

[WinterSpartan]

[Shraeye's heal was effectual - Beleren, you're up. You'll need a move action to stand up though.]

[WinterSpartan]

[Grujah?]

[Grujah]

[As it seems that standing up doesn't prove AoO]

Get up and shift to the right.

[Grujah]

Actually, If this also doesn't provoke AoO, Storm Walk, shifting right before the attack, striking Gobo.

vs fort

Rolled 1d20+4 : 10 + 4, total 14

The valorous hobgoblin attempts to take Merik down again:

[WinterSpartan]

*thump* *crash*

Party's up.

[Jorbles]

[We should recruit this guy. He's better at fighting than we are.]

[Grujah]

Move 3 to the right, use Dragonfrost on him.

(I will push him towards the wall if that has any effect).

[Kuildeous]

[Is Merik pretty much out of this fight? I haven't been keeping track of healing powers.

With his high AC, we may consider a couple of us aiding, although some of these die rolls are atrocious enough that it doesn't matter.

I have pretty good damage (1d10+1d6+5 if I use hit and run), but if we want to focus on the minuses to attack and defense that others can dish out, I'd support a movement for Hroksull to aid, though I do think that the damage would be better.]

[shraeye]

I can heal (but maybe not more than once per combat?).

I also have some of those minuses to attack/defense that people like.

[WinterSpartan]

[Merik's probably pretty much out of it. He can only get healed to +1, and that's a DC 15 Heal check as a standard action.]

[Jorbles]

[Probably not worth getting me up until the fight is over. Only one of us needs to still be standing when this guy goes down.]
