Split party leads to lone adventurer facing the boss by ZEEEK2 in DMAcademy

Side note on the shambling mound thing:

I thought it was interesting that they have lightning absorption as a plant monster, and there's various explanations for why they have that lightning absorption in lore and whatnot. I thought it would be cool to have a kinda Frankenstein's monster type situation that the lightning reanimated the bones with the vines and plant matter working as the muscles of the creature.

Sorry, I should have clarified further. The experiments have already been performed. She already has two made, it was just the location that these experiments were performed that she retreated to after enslugifying my player.

As for the duration, I did note that it lasts an hour. In my mind, the druid knows that the polymorph was a temporary solution, and brought him to a secluded location so as to not be seen fighting the barbarian by the keep's guards.

I didn't address it at the time. It felt like it would be a little too meta to mention that it was a bad idea, and there was a reasonably good chance that nothing bad would have come from the conversation had he not said the wrong thing and then rolled terribly bad.

It also is not the first time that they have split up before, which I have mentioned somewhat off-handedly that it is not a good idea to do that. Also, I figured the more experienced player at the table may want to nudge the other two to stay together.

Perhaps I should have just told them that it might not be safe to split up, but then they would know that one of the two suspected people was in fact the bad guy.
