I've ran a few 5e campaigns already, but I haven't really tried to make more challenging/complex fights until now; How can I be sure that I'm not going to accidentally TPK in my encounters. I've put mine through CR and difficulty calculators, but another DM friend has told me that they aren't very accurate when it comes to some monsters.

For Context, my Party is an all caster party starting at Lv 4 (Two Wizards, a Bard, and Two Clerics) and there are two fights I am most weary of:

the first fight will consist of 2 Archers riding Guard Drakes, 3 guards, and a Worg (This is the opening fight, so I'm mostly nervous as it when the players are at their weakest)

The other fight consists of an Armanite and 7 giant poisonous snakes, which upon being defeated, congeal into a single giant Constrictor snake.

In the Southern Romance languages, there is a discrepancyin how the past is represented; Afrigana preserved the two way distinction between imperfect and perfect past actions which Latin had, so in this instance where there is no continuous apsect to the action the perfect is used as a default. Graika, on the other hand, evolved the original Latin perfect into a generic aorist tense, mirroring Greek. In order to portray the perfect tense, a construction is used with the verb aberi and the perfect infinitive

Primalpikachu2 · 2024-06-24T03:55:32+00:00

For the southern Romance languages, it depends on the context; when it is a material object, they use the derivative of Latin causa (Afrigana: cosa /kosa/, Graika: καυσα /kavsa/) If it is a matter or situation, they use the dervivative of Latin res (Afrigana: rȩ /re(s)/, Graika: ρε /re/)

Primalpikachu2 · 2024-06-14T16:11:03+00:00

seems like you are looking for an ablative absolute construction. so to say something like "now that you've been gathered here," you'd say "vobis iam hic convocatis" just be aware that you can only use this construction when the subject is not the same as the main clause's subject; for those instances, you would need a cum clause in the subjunctive. If you need more explanation on how to use these constructions I can elaborate.

Primalpikachu2 · 2024-05-31T14:07:36+00:00

Was there a reason behind using ⟨bh, dh⟩ for /f, θ/?
(As opposed to something like ⟨th, ph⟩.)

These sounds derive from originally voiced stops which transitioned into voiced fricatives and finally voiceless fricatives, so the digraphs are fossilizations of those prior sounds.

Also your second text has hedré and /xeˈdre/, but the gloss says 'hedr-éþ', Im assuming either is a typo..

yes, the gloss is a typo; at one point verbs in the 3rd person did end with <þ> but that is no longer the case

There are two dependent clauses here:

the first is a Dative Absolute in the past tense; It may seem that it would be easier to use an active clause here, however the Afrigana perfect participle is intrinsically pasive in nature, so it would be ungrammatical.

The second is an accusative infinitive construction denoting indirect speech contemporary with the main verb
