The beginning of the battle where surprisingly to all, none of us got kilt. Here, Smaug faces off against an armored were-dog-rat thing and a couple of rat swarms. The valiant half-orc ranger succeeded with stunning aplomb. Isdra — the deva bard I play — nearly died, but overcame. Soltan continued his “cursed paladin” arc by rolling poorly all night. And Thorin the barbarian went all rage-y and dealt massive damage to the evening's überbad. Another lovely evening of D&D with my friends!
