And they all died.
at least 2 go unconscious and the other is heavily wounded
Fun story, when I started playing my Tabaxi Cleric of Sylvanus, we were walking through the woods towards our first dungeon, and on the way we got ambushed by wolves. The talk went:
ME: I'll position myself between the others and the wolves.
DM: then they'll attack you first.
ME: pfft, that's fine, I've got an AC of 18.
DM: does a 21 hit?
ME: 😨 (meekly) yes...?
DM: 23 hits as well...
ME: 😰
DM: and 19 as well, right... You take 10 damage.
ME: fuck, I'm down!
I have a new party of three absolute beginners lined up for next saturday. I forgot the snails in the adventure though 🤔
Add them in as wandering monsters. AC 16, 12 HP, 4' move
Attacks: 1d4 headbutt +1
AC 16, 12 HP
That's more than the vast majority of 1st level characters, my guy
It's a snail. It ought to be dangerous. It's not a solo game is it? It's also slow, so they can retreat if losing
Ah I thought you'd sick four of these onto four players, that might be a bit much 😅
But four players against two of these snails should be more than doable!
My group's about level 5, so their flock of snails will be a little nastier
I wonder if these will be the sort that follow you forever
Snail's not even guarding anything, the party just saw it and decided to go berserk.
Sounds about right.
Damn murderhobos.

Level 9 Party:
It was a decoy snake
