[QUOTE="Devo, post: 2893979, member: 32183"] [b]Bad Mojo![/b] Yeah, Rock should have been able to clear out that gatehouse blindfolded. His original plan was to clear out the gatehouse, then hold it against any attack or re-occupation while the rest of the group continued storming the castle. My original plan was to let him clear out the gatehouse then get bored and rejoin the group. That plan didn't last long. Fortunately, a last-minute change of plan from the group had them take the tower entrance, then go up a couple stories and move through the gate-house towards the main keep. If they hadn't gone that way, Rock probably would have been fighting that lone guard for the rest of the session. When he recovered from being dead ("It got better!"), he was exhausted (-6 STR and DEX). I ruled that since he had been dead for a moment, he was also at -6 CON until he rested. That still made him better than the guard he was fighting. (Mostly.) Unfortunately, he still had that wizard to deal with. :) Lucky for him, Pakkin the goblin was there to save his life. Again. :) D.
