Stirges, really?

It was great to roll the dice last night with The Wallet Draining Lich, The Sage of Southwood, Nautallica, and Durwaine Leaflander. We played firsties and survived for four hours being killed by Stirges. Yep Stirges. Got the whole party. Exactly.

These words were spoken over their cold, lifeless, bloodless bodies by the Sprites:

"Nothing makes a man more aware of his capabilities and of his limitations
than those moments when he must push aside all the familiar defenses of
ego and vanity, and accept reality by staring, with the fear that
is normal to a man in combat, into the face of Death."
