another tip for faster D&D combat end
0:04
combat early look for early excuses for
0:07
combat to end you don't necessarily have
0:09
to declare to the players like "Oh yeah
0:10
the last couple rounds passed
0:12
meaninglessly and the monsters all die
0:15
and everything is fine." No you don't
0:17
have to handwave things have the
0:19
monsters run away have them surrender
0:22
most creatures won't willingly fight to
0:25
the death and in most encounters
0:28
fighting to the death against those
0:29
monsters is boring the last round or two
0:33
usually take a very very long time and
0:36
it's just shin kicking like the players
0:39
know that they've effectively won
0:41
they're not going to expend big
0:42
resources so it's basic attacks and
0:45
cantrips and stuff just wearing down
0:47
those last few hit points until they've
0:49
actually eliminated the entire encounter
0:52
read the room use the dungeon master
0:55
will almost certainly know ahead of time
0:58
that yes the players have won here there
1:01
is no coming back for the from this for
1:04
the enemies just have them run away it's
1:07
fine and it will save you like 10 20 30
1:11
minutes on the back of an encounter
1:12
that's already effectively
