[QUOTE="Tuzenbach, post: 2212518, member: 16155"] [b]No maggots or children, just plain 'ole darkness........[/b] So the party is exploring some old tomb or temple complex deep underground. We're pretty far into the thing. All of a sudden, we realize that we DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TORCHES!!! Further to this, none of us have any light spells or tools to build more torches on the spot. No oil, tinderboxes, clubs, staves......NOTHING. Want to make it worse? None of the characters had either ultra- or infravision. Basically, once the light was gone, the DM's descriptions focused on things we "heard" rather than things we "saw". The only character unaffected by this debacle was my blind Duergar cleric. :cool: Anyway, the point at which there was no more light found us almost in the [i]exact middle[/i] of a room about 200x200, with a cobblestone floor and very high ceiling, I'm thinking 60 feet or so. Now, I don't care if you're fighting freakin' Kobolds......fighting in complete darkness is frightening! The last thing I wanted was an encounter in the dark. We were only first level, very weak, you see. All of a sudden....... "You hear these echoey clicking noises, almost like horse hooves, entering the 200x200 chamber and coming towards you. Whatever it is, it's going to make contact in about 40 seconds. What do you do?" :eek: Be afraid. Be very very afraid. :uhoh: :heh: [/QUOTE]
