Draconic suicide

[sgrey]

So, Palace of Ice campaign. I am traveling from the giants to White City and have random encounter with a bunch of dragons. They promptly surround my party with the intent to have an evening snack, then one of them releases a poisoned breath which hits an AOE all the dragons that were surrounding my party, and effectively it killed them all, then got promptly killed by my party. This was an interesting one of a kind encounter for me.
Did anyone had this happen to them? Also I didn't realize enemies can kill one another during fights with you lol Maybe this is not supposed to happen?

Sounds like the RNG or other generator which determines what random enemies you fight happened to give you a bad result.

Hah, i had similar. First scripted encounter on the road as you travel to the Dwarf place where the Soraks attack with a mage and demon. Mage throws a fireball at my party and takes out one of the Soraks attacking me. I was like "Cheers mate!"

Most AoE spells don't differentiate between friend or foe, if not stated otherwise and usually affects all creatures. Dreadful Omen would be an example, that it affects only enemies....

Got 3 Feral Dragon encounter while traveling to Telema....but Hold Monster is an amazing spell :) And my Bard can do a lot of disabling shenanigans as well...was situational in CotM, but now it really shines.

dunno, I am thinking I want more encounters where I sit back and watch dragons fight it out with each other lol

yea, I realized that most spells just hit everyone in range, but I never noticed enemies taking each other out before. Also this was at a large scale.

this is also cool :) I think this should a new tactic - put enemy melee fighters between yourself and their mages lol
