Spell preparation and combat tips for Barzer, War Magic Wizard 4
Moments
Firebolt Chain-Reaction Levels the Goblin Barracks
Barzer's Firebolt hits a firewater barrel, and the resulting explosion chain-detonates a hidden vein of barrels, wiping out all four goblin guards in the barracks in one shot.
The Plan Paid Off
The party walked into a cavern holding four ogres with a plan built two sessions ahead — and walked out at level 4 with every ogre dead and every character standing.
Back-to-Back Nat 20s: Goblins Wiped, Ogre Bloodied
Elaris drops a nat 20 to confirm the goblins are dead. Barzer looks through the window and does it again — straight onto the ogre.
The Screams Weren't From Goblin Warriors — It Was the Nursery
The DM calls for Insight checks on the high-pitched screams echoing from the fire, revealing the barracks the party just leveled was actually a goblin nursery. Dark, absurd laughter fills the table.
A Chuckling Voice in Barzer's Head After the Massacre
Moments after the nursery reveal, Barzer hears an unfamiliar voice speaking to him in Infernal, laughing at what just happened — and jokes about taking whatever it is as a warlock patron, hinting at a dark new plot thread.
Firebolt Into the Stalagmite Wakes a Black Pudding
The party debates webbing shut a hole-riddled stalagmite before Barzer decides to Firebolt the bottom hole instead. The blast reveals a sleeping black pudding, and combat erupts on the spot.
Barzer's Fog Cloud Bat: Splitting the Battlefield in Two
Before the cave assault, Barzer lays out a full tactical briefing: position the bat familiar at 10 feet, cast fog cloud, blind everything above while the party fights freely below.
Natural 20 Doubles Down on the Black Pudding
While the party debates how to help land the next hit, Barzer's cantrip roll comes up a natural 20, doubling the damage for a clean crit on the black pudding.
The Black Pudding Splits in Two
A hit on the black pudding triggers its split reaction, dividing it into two puddings — one sticking with Barzer, the other heading for Nysera — forcing the party to scramble mid-fight.
The Soup Is Human Stew
Barzer tells Elaris to investigate the goblin cauldron with Mage Hand, she does, and the pot answers — human bones, an eyeball, and finally an entire hand riding up on the ladle. The "soup" the party ignored all session is made of people, and Barzer names it: "stew-men."
"Am I the Only One Paying Attention to the Game?"
Mid-combat with the black pudding, Chris — remote on Discord all night — calls out the table for drifting, then admits the screen is all they've got going on.
Setting the Ambush on the Goblin Boss
The party lays out a coordinated ambush plan before engaging the goblin boss: holding fire bolts on high ground, luring enemies down a hallway choke point, and having Theren draw the boss out with an arrow to kick off the fight.
Black Pudding Finally Put Down for Good
Barzer lands a hit that forces a failed Wisdom save on the black pudding, and after a fake-out threat that it might split again, Reece confirms it's dead for good.
