[Spoilers C3] What If Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells swapped their deadliest encounters/near TPKs?
So I just posted about the closest TPK encounters for each of the parties (Vox Machina, Mighty Nein and Bells Hells). And got some interesting answers back. Seems the consensus is:
Campaign 1:
The trip into the 9 Hells. Occurred at level 15 with one party member (Ashley/Pike) missing. Several encounters over 3 episodes with a pit fiend, multiple devils and a chain golem. The objective was to kill Hotis permanently and then get out via planeshift.
The entire thing came down to a singular roll that if had gone differently was in Matt's words 'campaign over'. Some of the monster analysis is here.
Campaign 2:
Lorenzo and the Iron Shepherds fight. Occurred at level 5 with 3 party members missing (Fjord, Jester, Yasha) but one guest PC Keg.
The party's ambush went poorly, outnumbered and under-levelled they were nearly wiped by the Iron Shepherds and Mollymauk died. With only Keg's persuasion roll saving them. The monster analysis here.
Campaign 3:
So it seems it was a toss up between the two Otohan fights with the first one being the main pick. Bells Hells were level 7 at the first Otohan fight and had their full complement. Albeit they were somewhat separated in terms of positions and had spent resources earlier.
The fight went poorly with Otohan killing Fearne, Laudna and Orym. Only being stopped by Imogen going exaltant.
So my question is, how would the other parties have done in those TPK scenarios? Assuming they are at the same level and party numbers. Would it still be a TPK or near TPK?
How would Vox Machina have fared against Lorenzo and the Shepherds? Or against Otohan Thull?
Would the Mighty Nein have been able to escape Hell? Or kill Otohan?
Would the Bells Hells been able to kill Hotis and escape Hell? How would they have done against Lorenzo?
Edit: PC corresponding to cast member is missing in the different groups. So for the Lorenzo fight, Travis, Laura and Ashley were missing. Meaning their PCs for the Bells Hells and Vox Machina would not be present.
