Technically, rogues don't need flanking for Sneak Attack (but the requirement is similar to flanking in 3E), and pack tactics is not technically flanking. So I'm assuming y'all are playing RAW?

I honestly don't know.

I'm fuckin' cackling!
Our Sunday DM found a way to royally fuck with the two power gamers who are trying to get OP AC (+23). The Night Market in the Call of the Deep module trades in emotions, memories, feelings, and years (past or present). Both of them sold their feeling of family, so now neither of them remember they left their adopted kids in their hotel rooms. One of them sold their altruism. One of them almost ended up having to change classes (would have sold his sense of acceptance by a deity). The first almost became an unplayable character. He had an alignment change to true neutral.
It would have been hilarious if both of them had fallen for the whole trap and had to roll up new characters.
EDIT: Had a correction on where the kids were.
EDIT 2: Dammit! Both of them just figured out that the guy in the alleyway was a vampire and that he wasn't in the selling area!
Gyrre:
I'm DMing my first game and just wrapped up my second session of Curse of Strahd the players managed to kill the vampire spawn Doru with only one PC getting permakilled!
Ismark would have helped if a certain druid in the party hadn't KO'd Father Donavich.
What's sad, we kicked off the session with a flashback fight to the second night Strahd bit Ireena so the PC who died could be introduced. There were supposed to be two more players joining and introduced with said fight, with the three PCs who made it the first session controlling Kolyan, Ismark, and Ireena (one of whom also didn't make it).
But hey, the party leveled and player whose character died rolled some stellar stats for their new PC; 17, 18, 17, 16, 13, 11!

Nice when your dump stat doesn’t come with penalties.

Very true.
I'll have either Father Donavich or Strahd himself request they go clear out Dead house after the Burgomaster's funeral this Saturday. Hopefully we can get more than 4 players for over half the session. BTW, I can't take credit for the idea of having the party meet Strahd at the funeral. Once I learned just how janky the order of the CoS book was[1], I looked up some milestone suggestions and ideas on how often and ehere they should meet Strahd.
I'm going to have him merely tell them that he is the lord of the village and that the Burgomaster ran things on his behalf. Hopefully Donavich can pass his Wis and Con saves to not soil himself.
[1]It's the last location listed in the village of Barovia with a single sentence telling you where to look in appendix B for the location details. Zeto mention of anything like 'start your level 1 players here' in the chapter itself. And I ended up overlooking it for the much more enticing section header of "Special Events" right below it.
EDIT: Though, I am tempted to say 'screw it' and throw in a bonus level as both reward and apology, and send them on their way to Madam Eva.
