The battle with Karazikar the beholder concludes under increased difficulty. If you make yourself the main threat, a beholder WILL oblige. Does a PC die??? An unexpected windfall for Vizeran. Wait, wait, wait… MORE NPCs in this campaign for a DM to deal with??? Care and feeding of addled modrons. A sneaky sending stone message. Look before you teleport. Do spells cast from a scroll require concentration? Can you double a critical hit (i.e. “stack crits”)? Does disintegrate destroy everything a character is wearing or carrying? More discussion of antimagic field particulars. Shane’s cats fight. Shane wears an ugly tie.

This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.

Each video follows the most recent session with his group.
