So my wife and I have cleaned out the blighted village and low and behold we come across a weakened wall in the basement of on of the houses. With a little work we break through to the Whispering Depths! So cool. A cavern complex! We, of course, set out to explore it. After all, its accessible via the village so we figure it must be doable, right?!?

Heh, wrong. we clear out the various ettercaps and then come across the phase spiders...

So far we are doing pretty good. Tough but doable for our 3rd level adventurers.

Deeper we go. Deeper still. More Phase Spiders and still deeper.

What is this? Phase Spider eggs? Hmm. That doesn't sound good...

Then of course we meet the lady that has been laying those eggs. A Phase Spider Matriarch.

It does not go well (lol). We fight valiantly, but one by one we are left dead to the waves of phase spiders, phase spider spiderlings and the Shelob like Matriarch. End scene.


I love the fact that there are areas that are just way to powerful for lower level, less well equipped characters. We laughed at being overwhelmed, went back a save and crept out of that foul place swearing we would be back when we could destroy the foul beasties that lay within! Games where one can defeat anything you run into, no matter what, get very boring very fast. Some areas SHOULD be to powerful for players to just waltz into as if we were gods.

Dang, I am enjoying this game!
