What are your most memorable sessions?... Really exciting and dangerous situations??... Skirting death by the thinnest of margins?...
We just had a session where the Gargantuan Black Dragon was dropped onto our battle-map to represent a Gargantuan Red Dracolich. Our party of roughly 15th-level characters (and a few cohorts) immediately moved to attack the beast which we knew previously as a non-lichified Red Dragon.
The Dracolich took the first round to 'talk smack' about roasting our bones or something like that, but was taken by surprise when my Paladin used his boots of teleportation to carry himself and the other Dwarven Tank Fighter to right up on its flank. Searing light flew a few times from party clerics while bards began to sing.
The second round caused serious damage to our tanks, but instead of my Paladin healing us up, he instead turned and used Lay Hands upon the Undead Foe, unloading his entire 96 points on the Dragon. More spells flew, arrows rained down on the beast which were mostly ineffective, and our Shadow Dancer jumped onto its back, while the dragon jumped upon two of our casters, nearly squashing the life right out of them, pinning the casters who faced something like a +56 grapple check to escape or conduct actions.
Ultimately we took the beast down knowing well that if it had another round of action, at least 4 characters would be dead in seconds, and the rest would likely be running scarred.
All in all, very memorable. Not only my first dragon in 3.x edition, but a Garagantuan Red Dracolich!!
So what say you, anything exciting out there to share.
