Survival rate in TOR

[Elmoth]

In my games Defensive stances are the norm. That means that they are not hit much by their normal opponents, that do not roll that many dice, and when they do, they can shrug it off. Not much armor around, but they still survive in general...

Well, there's a decent chance that I just killed four heroes in the Beornsvager game. Huh.

Yeah stay tuned for the update on this. In a single session we may have just doubled the total number of known TOR fatalities since the game was first published.

Nope. Just Ettins, and then a Great Orc hidden by magical darkness. But a couple of heroes decided they wanted to talk to a dragon that was nearby instead of fighting their way into the tower. So that had a big impact on the fight.

Ouch.

By the way: Snow Trolls, Ettins, Great Orc... They all have Great Size and Favored Armour. A killer combo.

She really is. I can just imagine her starting a riot in the afterlife.

Update: Zed gave the 4 of us a chance to survive, based off a single Feat die roll.

3 out of 4 rolled Eye of Sauron.

EDIT: oh my bad they were all 1's. It's an online dice roller and I thought we still had to subtract 1. Too bad, really.

So do the 1s still mean death? Has zed pulled off a near-TPK?

3 of the 4 PCs in the fight are dead, but there are 3 other companions (who were off freeing a dragon), so the total is 3/7 technically. The one who survived is "broken" (has to select some penalties), but can choose to bestow the survival on one of the other three.
