So mechanically, Bob was like a 18th level character. I also skipped the part where if we looked outside we could see him fighting the giant shadow demon like Godzilla vs Kong. Also the real reason John died was he didn't get the buff from the Hobo Stew. It was granting some sort of bonus to saves, Dan never told us what it was. Hell, it might have done nothing and it really was the power of friendship that keep us alive. lol
