Team "ironman-ranged" did the Spider Matriarch with no problem. It is still the same basic fight - I dropped her from a web once but imo it wasn't really necessary. We then did Dror + Spiders, Polmira and the Minotaurs on one rest. Dror was done just by way of walking in the front and going from there. His special ability did blast Shadowheart off the edge and down into the Spiders but we managed to keep her alive even with that (Thank you Wyll!). Overall I think these fights, especially Dror feel good- neither needing to expend all resources nor being a total walk in the park i.e. someone who knows what they are doing can do Dror without needing to use rafters, barrels or stealth. Did use stealth to get the drop on the Minotaurs but personally I think approaching an encounter stealth-ed is perfectly fine.
The Fighter-Archer really does hold up. I added in dual scimitars so she does a bit of melee when she has to but mostly she can use Amulet of Misty Step to jump away. Might fully gear up now and go for the Githyanki. My previous attempt did not go well.
@Nyloth - they have deffo had their HP increased (think this was mentioned in the patch notes - I am wondering if this is "legal" hp or deliberately too high for "testing purposes", I will try to remember to check their CON) and they act very smart, at least for little computer people.
