hi, reading through the thundertree encounters in lost mines of phandelver, there's one area with some inconsistencies.
"(. . .) crawling with eight twig blights. Any disturbance in the ruined farmhouse draws the blights' ire. (. . .) Each round for three rounds, two twig blights head for the south doorway leading into the farmhouse while two more head for the north doorway."
as written, that would be four new blights per round, for three rounds. that would be twelve blights total, not eight as it said.
it's not a huge deal, but what do yall think? was the math wrong and i should just use eight blights, four/round for two rounds? or just use twelve?
I've actually DMed this for my brothers. One of my brothers didnt want to do the session for this one, so during the fight with some Ghouls, his character was knocked out. He and some DMPCs (I know but they need a full party) they were able deal with the twig blights going one by one, while protecting the unconscious halfling.
One of the twig blights tried to attack the unconscious halfling rouge, and EVEN WITH ADVANTAGE, COULD NOT HIT HIM !! FOR 3 ROUNDS!!!!All the characters were scrambling to protect him, at the end of the fight, my brother's human fighter chucks the last twig blight, and I flavored it that Ripper, klargs wolf who is back in phindalin with his master (dont ask) appears snatches the creature and disappears, mostly at a joke.

thanks in advance!
Use the number of blights you want your party to handle really.
As written, figure there is a missing comma between farmhouse and while. Which would make it eight.
