[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7444173, member: 6803664"] I'll keep this in mind if I ever find myself on a mountaineering team. It was none of the above in the case of our barbarian & my 1/2lings mis-adventures with a phantom feast. The rest of the party were only about 60'-90' away from us. We very often spread out a bit if just generally searching rather than standing all clumped up in one spot & relying upon whomever has the highest Investigation to learn everything. So the barbarian opening another door at the edge of my light isn't anything new. My 1/2lings reaction to food? Already well established. Of course she'll "investigate" it. My 1/2lings fleeing actual monsters reach? Also well established behavior. It's not [I]my[/I] fault the barbarian had poo for reaction speed & got ganked by wraiths in under 12 seconds.... Of course Bree feels bad that the barbarian got killed. But his quick death perfectly validates running away from wraiths! Out of character? Nobody was particularly fussed about the barbarian getting killed. Not even his player. We were playing our characters. It was those little round bastards we refer to as d20s that had it in for that character that particular session. It just worked out that wraiths killed him & in a way that provides a humorous retelling. And? It's only a game. [/QUOTE]
