I think there's a distinct difference between "it's not fair" and "it's not fun." It's totally fair for the Overlord to waste everybody's time if he does so within the rules of the game. But it's perhaps unreasonable for that Overlord to expect to have people to play with next time

Describes our encounter today exactly.

Act 1 was almost all won by the heroes (except ol' unwinnable castle daerion). Heroes also won the interlude, so OL was a bit down on his luck. Of course, immobilizing heroes with a ton of monsters right next to him wasn't the best idea, so that may have something to do with the losses. But he doesn't like admitting that.

We got Merriods and Ice Wyrms to go along with the shadow dragons in the area. With reinforcements of 3 monsters per turn (literally half the total group), we couldn't get anywhere. Our OL of course is literally laughing at us all game.

Oh, did I mention he's been nerfing our abilities since the start of the game? Apparently you can't recover a fatigue and re-spend it that turn. Also, Prayer of Healing is an action.
