Yet, somehow, players make it through. In the campaign I've been playing, there were at LEAST a dozen times when I looked at the fight and went "how the fuck are we supposed to survive THIS?" And yet we have, every time. Best was the ogre cleric with 4th level spells, as well as two giant crab-like things, at 9th level, after a long, long, long endurance gauntlet. I think it was the 12th fight, that day. We *did* have a bronze dragon on our side, but *still*.<br/><br/>And god know, I'd never play the WLD. I understand after a while, they just gave up, and starting flipping open pages of the MM and writing those down.
