This sounds like somebody's Saturday RPG session recap. Larian have managed to capture the spirit of this quite well!

What are some fun (non-spoilery) moments you've experienced?

I had a different situation in the same spot

Goblin camp SpoilersAfter killing off everyone inside, I let the goblin kids run out, which I guess is what made the people in the camp hostile. But I went back to the grove to finish my quests there before continuing. So instead of fast traveling back into the inside of the castle, I wanted to see if I forgot something and strolled in the front. I didn't know the kids running off (which I didn't want to kill, would probably break my Paladin oath also, and feels horrible), everyone was now hostile. I thought I was going to die and have to reload, so I just went with it.

Then I used the bridge into the goblin camp as a choke point. And I thought I'd throw grease bottles in the choke point, but Gale had grease spell prepared so I just used the spell slots there. And I had Shadowheart throw a fireball, hoping it would start a fire in the grease and it did. Every turn I had gale summon more grease doing lots of damage, maintaining the choke, it burned instantly because of the grease.

My paladin finished off a few goblins that managed to run through the fire, which each needed one stomp with a mace to the face to finish off. Shadowheart and Wyll threw fireballs and Eldritch Blast as well. Got lots of exp also.

The whole camp except the drunk sleeping bunch was wiped. The sleepers they got a big bonk in the head while trying to be quiet near them, none of them woke up.

Oh I didn’t even think of fast traveling as an option!
