George/Thorn joined up this session as a new PC. He spent the first part of the evening watching the initial Meowswitch development discussions and the extremely long fight with the kidnappers. This fight was on a somewhat larger scale than the PC's were used to and fighting the unseen, flying reckless abandoned, primal archer with a boatload of buffs was pretty rough. Really digging these types of fights, but they sure are time consuming. The encounter definitely highlighted the party's relative inability to fight things that don't want to hang around and get full-attacked in the face. I suspect this fact may have been a direct influence on George's build, and while the party now has a dedicated ranged DPS type, they're almost critically low on arcane and divine utility. Only time will tell if this is fatal or irrelevant in the face of their fairly high burst damage potential.
George/Thorn joined in on the next encounter with a skin and bones build to shoot some illithids with his warbow. Next week we'll hopefully have a full backstory!
