    I remember being grappled by one and then being set on fire by the party’s sorcerer. I may have said something like, “do it again and I’ll feed you to the next thing we find or leave you behind.” I was then petty and refused to heal him after smiting a living statue and said it was for setting me on fire

    Ptsd of a piercer encounter. Not because of being hit but when they were crawling back up to the ceiling we each focused on one as they scurried and I COULD NOT for the life of me hit mine. I didn't want to waste spells so sent firebolt after firebolt, somehow never hitting the dang thing until another member took pity and stabbed it lol. Lovely days

    At the end of our most recent P2E game, we entered a cave and a roper immediately grabbed two party members. The rest of us rushed it, attacking its arms to make it let go of the other party members. It then tried to escape up a wall to safety. There is a Wrestler dedication in P2E, which has all kinds of thematic attacks including one very useful one; Suplex. It knocks a grappled foe prone and does extra damage if you're lucky enough to crit, and of course, if they're climbing at the time, they fall. Queue my Monk in Gorilla Stance rushing up the wall, grappling this sucker and sending it hurtling towards the ground. I didn't get the kill, but damn was it satisfying.
