Nice one @mushgnome

Note that hobbets replace composite- and longbows with short bows.

You've also caused me to notice an omission in the Arms & Armor Selection table in the Players Quick Starter: hobbets should also replace the large two-handed weapons with something more manageable. For now, let's replace that 6ft two-handed sword with a regular sword & shield.

You may (or may not) have noticed in the most recent Fight, that it could be worthwhile specifying a couple of players having lit lamps or lanterns at the ready

Those minor tweaks aside, are we all good to go?? Fight Club awaits!

Nice.

I see Archie has.... grown a beard? and we are suddenly down to 50% hobbets

Let's get started!

All set to go!

Editorial suggestion for the Quickstart: I prefer standard class/level names like "1st level Fighter" or "2nd level Cleric."

By the way I thought it was funny that I rolled Crusader background for the MU and Carpenter for the cleric, so I kept it like that (even though it's weird)!

Yeah, odd combinations are an interesting quirk of the tables. But I agree it's fun to work with this weird ones.

If it were a long-running campaign, those could make some of the most interesting characters!

6-headed hydra -> Time for studio audience to grab some popcorn.. Good luck little hobbits.

Archie's never fought a hydra before, but how hard can it be? Just cut off the heads, snicker snack. Duh!

Glitch was too perfect... I appreciate the not trying to get metagamey and play it as it lays. God knows this is not the first time a sleep spell has screwed the party. I think there are some in the hinterlands threads also and I know in the DD intro games we had some. Aiming a Sleep spell in combat should be hard... With that said, munch munch Go Hobbits!
