And welcome to a Battle Interactive.
These are meant to be tougher than normal battles and the threat of death is meant to be there. However, as far as I know, no one died at the BI and I believe, no one did at your either. So at the end of the day, the encounters did what they were suppose to do: create a tough challenge for your Heroes.
Take heart however, this was the last BI released for home play.
Yep. In general, I like BIs (this is my 3rd played (if you count Arcaniscon this year as a BI) and 1 GMd). Except for this year's Arcaniscon, it seems that there is always 1 scene I really dislike (archer "swarm" on bridges at Origins last year and this one (so far) in HP2-03).
I think my huge complaint with this one is it is completely irrelevant what your stats are. Defenses don't matter and AR is ignored. Basically the entire scene comes down to do you have enough healing to keep the group up long enough. Killing them isn't even that relevant. Also, if you don't have a blunt weapon or aoe attack spells, you effectively can't do any damage to them anyway.
I still have mixed feelings about no more home play BIs.
