Our Encounters at the store location has fallen apart. Couldn't keep critical mass ,actually we started strong at 5-6 for the first few weeks and then it dropped down to 3 -4. After week 5 the DM changed then cancelled for week 6 and after that we were down to 2 players. So I will miss the rest of the season. If anyone has a copy of the module I wouldn't mind reading it over to see what I am going to miss.

Have I missed some rules updates? Pertaining to the enemies in this and later encounters: Spoiler:
Show
I have seen several posts about this week's encounter with the insubstantial enemies, and the battle being won or lost depending on the PCs having Force attacks. Either there has been some rules update I have missed that says Force now ignores insubstantial, a bunch of Players & DM's don't know how Force damage reacts with Insubstantial, or the creatures statblocks *actually say*: Force damage ignores insubstantial on this creature...(I don't have the adventure in front of me, and can't remember seeing that offhand)

So it's in the statblock but there's been no all-encompassing rules change, I guess? That's odd.

It seems to be a particular property of the phantom brigade. All their stat blocks contain the section:
Insubstantial
The "Phantom brigade something" takes only half damage from any damage source, except force damage.
Once the group's wizard dropped Wizard's Fury in the Salazar battle the bad guys didn't last very long.

Unfortunately that power is not found in an Essentials book so the vast majority of people playing Encounters would not have access to it.
