Bad luck is bitter, but for a whole party ? Strange things occur from time to time<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Well, I hadn't a TPK as a DM or player, but it was close...The last thing was a battle with a banshee in ToE. The converted banshee was weak: low hp, low DC against its wail; it was NOT that monster in MM II. The group (5 PCs at level 10) had a lot of hints that there is something VERY dangerous in the room, able to kill with its voice...The bard considered to cast Silence, but actually, she didn't...So they encountered the creature. The druid was first, flame-striked it but damage dealt was not enough. The banshee wailed - and killed 3 PCs. Only the paladin and the druid survived and fought a hard battle. They killed it one round before its next wail attack...</blockquote>
