I just finished running encounter with the Rutland toughs; the bard, Lincoln Continental. The orc barbarian, Toyota Thon. The Dwarf fighter, Clinton Marblebottom. And the two human rogues, Chevy Impala and Nissan Maximo.
Lincoln sat on the picnic table, feet on the bench before. The toughs were trying to shake the party down for 50 gp. The party wasn't having it and drew weapons. During the dialogs, I had my two rogues sneak into position. As the party launch their attack, I had my rogues deliver theirs.
A d6 short sword plus sneak attack is a pretty good blow. The party in return offered their volley, but the toughs were exactly that. It was going to take a big spell or 3 hits to knock them down.
The party's Dwarf Bard, Bromm was on fire and chopped down the other dwarf with his hand axe. The mage G-Bach, was not and he missed with all of his Chromatic orbs.
Skipping much of the details, we got to a point when the party has two of the toughs down. Two of the remaining bolted for it. The barbarian orc was hopped up on Dragon Powder and was raging and reckless. The party chased after. What a mistake.
A pissed barbarian orc is nothing to be triffled with. Having just been stabbed by the musketeer's rapier, she hooked his arm and headbutted him in the face. Natty 20.
I dented his nose back into his skull. First party death. Next round I knock Brother Edgar down. And they can't gang up on the orc because they ran after the fleeing members.
In long run, the party won. But that was fun. I used a Hideous laughter, so they'd know the feels. And found out barbarians are tanks and reckless is OP.
