[QUOTE="Sniktch, post: 1376795, member: 7704"] Thanks for the kind words, all of you. Again, I'm just sorry it took me so long to get to it, but I guess that happens sometimes. Tallarn, the banshee wail was a DC 22 Fort save IIRC. Definitely above 20. It was compounded by the fear save first, something like a DC 17 Will save that if failed gave a -2 on all subsequent saves, etc. Without that fear save Zooky and Higreld, at least, would have remained standing - they both passed the save by 1 before taking fear into account. Artimas rolled a 1 for his save, as his player nearly always does on a save or die roll. I think Tierak rolled a 1 as well - I know there were 2 of them. I think the near TPK may have demoralized me worst of all. Play actually went a little further than this as Welby and his 2 new friends tried to rescue Bruskin and Gnish and recover the bodies of the fallen, and I may write about that sometime, but my heart wasn't into the game anymore. And of course, any time the DM loses enthusiasm the game is going to suffer. I started running another game to recapture my spirit and we've just never gone back. Bring on Freeport and bring on the guns! ;) [/QUOTE]
