[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5959280, member: 463"] [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] - I played 1st level Labyrinth Lord by-the-book yesterday. Three PCs, 4 hp each, death at 0 hp per RAW. We had a Thief PC with his ca 15% skills, and the GM didn't give any circumstance bonuses. However we did request that even when the % check failed, as it usually did, he still receive the same 2 in 6 surprise chance that any other PC would get. We did not send the Thief PC scouting ahead; my Elf charmed an Orc jailor after we had been captured at the inn (drugged beer) and we used him as point man until the Fighter PC pushed him off a cliff. :( The GM did not let me buy guard dogs or hire retainers, so we generally tried to avoid fighting. Escaping from the dungeon jail we had one fight where giant centipedes ambushed us and bit the Orc, the rest of us shot arrows at them until they died. Then after escaping, at the end we had a fight where we waited in ambush on the trail leading from town to the dungeon until we could ambush the bad guys (2 orcs, 4 goblins and Burger, the treacherous halfling innkeeper); that was the riskiest thing but we had some luck and won, killing most of the goblinoids and capturing Burger. In the end, no PC died, it was a lot of fun, and the GM showed us the map of the dungeon he had worked on, which had mostly not been used - we had escaped from it asap and refused to go back in, since obviously that would have been suicidal... :) [/QUOTE]
