BG3: Karlach is a Bleeping Disney Princess 013: Duregar, Booms and One D&D

New, at the time, One D&D Playtest Material: https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/ua/ph-playtest7/tsgOb3llF22AL0nU/UA2023-PH-Playtest7.pdf?icid_source=house-ads&icid_medium=crosspromo&icid_campaign=playtest7

I like that the Duregar aren't fooled by us trying to have a peaceful talk when we have a Myconid in our team. Still, Glut is a bit too cartoonishly evil, and we'll miss the big dumb mushroom. The Grymforge exploration involves making a guy's spiders leave him, messing with an evil eye, saving slaves and finding explosives. There's a lot going on in Grymforge. The fight with the duregar is a bit long and frustrating, but we clear it eventually. I also have grown to dislike not knowing which rolls are individual rolls and which ones the party gets a single united attempt at. Overall, Grymforge showcases what Larian does alright, well and terribly.

We'll actually descend to the forge next time; trust me, it felt longer trying to figure out how the LoS/Line of Effect worked at that fight.
