CORRECTION(S):
-At 21:36, the Darkness spell requires 3 actions. (It had no impact on this fight. however)
-At 29:35, the Fighter needed to roll Acrobatics to Tumble Through the troll's space. (It was in my script! Just forgot to do it lol)
-At 56:36, the Wizard needed to do a DC 5 flat check to target the zombie in dim light. -
-At 1:01:17, the Wizard casting a spell with a Verbal component would give away his position, moving him from Undetected to Hidden.
