[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3135073, member: 40177"] We ran a game where the PCs were survivors from an army outpost after it was overrun by a legion of goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears (all with different names...). It was during the winter, and the PCs were out in the forest, trying to get to civilized lands so they could spread the word that an invasion was coming. OF course, the goblins and hobgoblins were trying to stop the PCs as best they could. There were a lot of scenes, but the one that stuck in everyone's head was when the group, piled on to two dog sleds, were speeding through a snow-filled forest at breakneck speeds, being pursued by six teams of goblins on sleds. Each goblin had an archer, and the PCs were firing bows back at the goblins as they rushed through the forest. They had to duck low-lying branches, do jumps over logs, and risk crashing through iced-over streams while doing their best to escape their pursuers (They were only 2nd level at the time). I think they managed to escape through some excellent rolling on their part and some poor rolling on the goblins' (several crashed into obstacles on the way), but the part that really stuck in everyone's heads was when the group's wizard started casting Summon Monster I, and placing his summoned critters in front of the pursuing goblin sleds. I dimly recall at one point having the character summon a frightened halfling family, and placing it in the path of an oncoming sled, which of course crashed violently. Lots of fun. [/QUOTE]
