We played our Pathfinder 2 game on Saturday and I enjoyed it.

A lot of the session was just setting things up. We had to do some research and talk to some folks, and that was really up and down. I cannot remember a night when I've rolled so many ones and twos. But the team overall did well, so we got what we needed.

Then we had to buy stuff, since we had gone back to civilization, and that took some time - we had to figure out what we were keeping and what we were selling, and then we had to figure out if the cool new stuff we wanted was available or not. My character got a better rune on her hammer and her shield got stronger. We all bought a bunch of antifungal stuff too, which helped later.

After a LOT of that, it was time to go back into the mess that is Tanglebriar and try to find the tower where we thought the next Big Bad lived.

We found it, and there is a DRAGON living there, which is terrible news for us. We are 16th level at this point. I don't know if I've ever felt like I was high enough level to take on a dragon. I sure don't feel like I am right now.

We didn't end up fighting the dragon this time, but it's definitely happening next week. We took on some evil tree ents (I think they are Tanglebriar Regents?), and it took a while because we were trying not to use magic. We knew this was not the main event and we wanted to hold anything we could in reserve.

I got in some good hits and I was in the right place at the right time to heal a couple of party members, so I felt good about how that went. We finally got a kind of rhythm going with how to use our different abilities. Like, the Champion is really good at frightening bad guys, so we should have her do that. Then the Fighter has something that allows her to do extra damage to an enemy that is afraid. So it makes more sense for the Champion to do the frightening, rather than the Fighter using Intimidating Strike. Then the Fighter can get in more hits with the extra damage.

Even though we were taking some big hits, it was a good fight. Especially since we were going light on the magic. I got a critical hit on one of them and I knocked him down, which was cool.

Then, once we had finally defeated all of those regents, we heard a scary sound and we looked up to see a dragon flying overhead.

And that's where we left it! I did heal folks, but we didn't have time to do much else. So I imagine next week will be getting strafed by some kind of fungus-infested dragon. Huzzah.
