Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

After going through several drafts of a simple fast forward, I was unable to do so in a way that would both make sense and not cause further discomfort. That, plus the facts that I never plan on using Max again and that I never even intended for Gorgash to be a part of this encounter, has brought me to the decision to do what I have done instead.

I'm willing to admit that this solution isn't much better, but I've been holding things up for over nine days at this point.

Either way, Initiative order is no longer in effect.

It was at this point in time that time slowed to a crawl and the party's surroundings became blurred beyond recognition. Moments that felt like days passed as the blurry world slowly but surely shaped itself into an androgynous humanoid figure with icosahedral eyes. "This display is neither entertaining nor amusing." The figure spoke. "I command it to be something else. Now."

Then everything went black.

When the party regained their awareness, they did so slumped over a long line of tables and surrounded by a cheering crowd of tavern goers with Max, Gorgash, and his dire wolf nowhere to be found. Apparently, they had just participated in a drinking contest. And for holding their own for as long as they did, they had earned a night's room and board on the house.

Ok then. Skipping the encounter it is.

Once more, I'm sorry about the whole fighting a kid thing. Rest assured that will not happen again.

I will check in with everyone when I'm a little more awake...

Whatever the source of the stress that has been keeping you at the same level of drowsiness for 12 days straight is, I hope you're not having too much trouble dealing with it.

Alrighty then. What I'm getting from this consensus is that the use of an annis hag is fine, provided that her child minions are non-combatants that can be rescued from her clutches and led back onto the straight and narrow.

If I've got that right, allow me to pose my final question.

Would you all just like to skip this encounter?

Since the whole fighting a kid thing is killing the vibe, I could just hit fast forward, resolve the rest of this situation ASAP, and get us on to the next thing if that's what you'd like me to do.

Ok. By unanimous vote encounters against evil children are no longer on the docket. I offer you all my deepest gratitude for your input, as well as my sincerest apologies for any discomfort I may have caused. I shall try my best to avoid doing this in the future.

It is with this goal in mind that I ask my next question.

I'm sure by now that some of you have guessed that this campaign will feature a coven of hags. Without spoiling too much, one of the coven's members is an annis hag. A variant of hag whose preferred targets are children.

Should I swap the annis out with a different hag?

Create or Destroy Water specifies that it can only effect water in an open container. So the mouth would count so long as it's open. As would the eyes and nose.

Also, now that I think about it, I probably should have checked how ok you all are with this whole evil children thing before implementing it... Welp. Better late than never I suppose.

How ok are all of you with the use of children as enemies? Do you not mind it happening or would you prefer that I not do that?
