I've been reading through the battle reports, and things have clearly been a bit if a mess, for a while.
In the latest report, the whole party's been complaining about Willy the Wizard, and not sure who invited him. He ices up the place, the floor is slippery, he bursts oppressive clouds that obscure vision, and the thing is stinking out the place. Willy blames Roger the Rogue, claiming the smell is from his smoke bomb. Roger claims that he wasn't even there to be seen, and Willy bristled that it makes things worse. Roger angers the enemies, but can't be seen, leaving squishy Willy to face them - and it's not like Clara and Paul heal and shield him these days, now that they have better things to do.
They're all agreed that Winona the Warlock is exploiting dark evil magics, but it's been a long time since she's had friends in the group, and anyway, she's still got that awesome tail flick thing happening. Besides, counters Winona, Garry the Guardian has clearly been unfairly imbued by his deity with the boss-slaughtering Shriek of Gryphon power in his weapon, and is having too much fun with it to bother bringing his shield along to protect the rest of the group.
Thing is, the whole report is a bunch of lies anyway. Paul the Paladin, who can't hold onto a lie for more than 5 minutes, confessed to me what actually happened.
What happened was that Fred the Fighter charged ahead of the group, ran around the corner, and wiped out the enemy by standing in the middle and swinging his weapon once full circle, obliterating everyone within 30 ft!. Whilst many of the party were miffed, Clara the Cleric declared that although she couldn't see what was happening around the corner, Selune's divine wrath was clearly channeling through her to Fred. Likewise, Paul the Pallly is sure that the Aura of Courage that inspires the party was clearly felt through the rock, and probably has infinite distance - far enough even to keep up with Fred. Both of them are just glad that they didn't have to spend valuable time picking Willy back up from the floor in the middle of battle.
Willy, noticing that were 7 of them in party, which is highly irregular, isn't surprised by anything these days, and isn't complaining. He's just happy not to be left in the kitchen during the party.
So... Lord NeverSayNever has declared that there shall be an account taken, gaps identified, and special training will be given, over the course of a month, to bring the laggers up to snuff. No funny business, no more "in the kitchen at parties", and destruction to the foes of Neverwinter!
Good luck to us all! May we all find a place at the round table, ready to disrupt the foes of Neverwinter, as soon as we have enough eager bodies to take off.
It's a wonderful adventuring life.
Correlon bless us, one and all!
