Emotionally, it was pretty nice, though.
Yea, none of the other stuff I perused here I had any issues with, but I was kinda of disappointed by this one.

1) These guys are going after an epic Lich, an epic-esque monster and a cleric with lvl 9 spell slots, plus minions, and even with proper preparations they can't handle this much lower CR encounter?

2) What, are they all rolling nat 1s on their will saves now?

3) Is vampiric dialogue no longer at the speed of thought?

4) Why is Belkar regaining consciousness? The brooch doesn't negate HP dmg.

5) So, they lost... but suddenly... they won?

I don't mind the Durkon overtake solution but I didn't really like how it was executed. It didn't seem to be in line with the lore we had been presented until then and what we would expect of the encounter. Felt too much Deus Ex Mechina to me.

I don't hate it, but I think that was my least favorite part of the story.
