This has since been patched so that enemies AND your own characters will gain additional stun resistance after being stunned once, making this strategy much more hit-or-miss.

Considering all the horrors now lurking at and around the estate, and that he has been in the middle of them for months or perhaps even ''years'', all the while nearly everyone else abandoned the area, it is not difficult to feel sympathy to the poor guy.

Many enemies will attempt to invoke this, such as an undead courtesan throwing tainted, acid wine at your heroes, Swine Wretches will vomit on them, and the Hag will [[ImAHumanitarian sample her stew]], all of which will both damage your party and stress them out.

Even with a dedicated healer you typically won't be able to outheal the damage, so players might be inclined to kill the little pig first...''don't.'''' If you do, the boss TurnsRed and will start hitting your whole party for heavy AOE every turn; if he's not already a turn or two from death, a TotalPartyKill is almost guaranteeed.
** The Hag, NightmareFuel aside, can be nearly impossible if tackled without preparation. Her pot takes up the front two slots, and she takes up the two behind it; every turn, if there's no hero in her pot, she'll use her first action to chuck one of them in at random. The hero in the pot takes MASSIVE damage over time, and the only way to free him is by hitting the pot (alternatively, the pot will dump him out when he hits his LastChanceHitPoint.) The problem? The hero is dumped at the front of the formation and moves the rest of the party back...and this movement ''counts as a turn for every hero.'' Trying to game the fight by simply ignoring the pot and healing the hero when he's dumped out on Death's Door? Watch as the round suddenly ends and the Hag uses her free turn to slap your party with a light AOE attack, dealing low enough damage to be irritating...except to that hero who just got thrown out of the pot, who suddenly finds himself dead. On top of this, because she never leaves the back row and the pot itself is effectively invulnerable, if you don't have a party that can consistently hit the back row from any position (the pot will ruin your formation and you won't have time to correct it), the fight can be basically UnwinnableByDesign.
** General consensus is that the Necromancer is the easiest boss; however, an unprepared player or one who rushes into the fight with a weak, struggling party can still find themselves up a creek. The Necromancer spams low-damage AOE, but his real threat is the meat shield skeletons he summons in front of him with every attack. Generally, as long as you either have AOE or strong single-turn single-target damage, you can mow through the skeletons and wear down the Necromancer without too much trouble. Lack both of those? You'll struggle to get through his meat shields while he and his skeletons slowly hack and chip away at your party.
