All of its attacks were instant death, so it was crucial for everyone to have presence of mind at all times. They must be aware of their positioning and have a basic perception of where the attacks would land and strike.

Stun and Freeze were also going to be a problem, as well as the apparent fact that they couldn't get too close within its range.

As soon as the door closed, the [Engaged] prompted, but the Thunder King didn't mind the players. It did not do battle so much as it got to work. It was in the demolition business, and everything it did was in service to that goal. There was no way to prevent catastrophic collateral damage with any conflict involving a Thunder King.

Eric and Erica took this window of time to remind their players about their strategy.

"The mechanics of a Thunder King represents its ponderous and massive nature," stated Eric. "Each of its sections takes a turn, and they won't attack simultaneously, so we can breathe easy."

"With the creature being this big, it is unable to take all actions in a single turn," added Erica. "If one of the Thunder King's sections reaches 0 hit points, it would start to consider the players as a primary threat and would focus all its efforts on destroying us."

Eric's face turned serious. "Before that happens, we must reduce its arms and legs' hit points near 0. By doing so, we wouldn't suffer as much of its attacks, and we would last longer in fighting its head and body.
