[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5799026, member: 54846"] 3 dead, 1 stalemate. @[U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=40398"]Tequila Sunrise[/URL][/U] ran a 1st level adventure for 4 pcs. There was an empty room with a pool that had 3 potions at the bottom. Since everyone was being cautious and I wanted to move things along, I jumped in the pool. The moment I reached for the potions, 4 water elementals popped up, surrounding me. 2 or 3 hit me and knocked me down to 1 hp on the [I]surprise round[/I]. Did I mention I was the group healer? I managed to get myself back up to 10, but was prone, so by the time I healed myself and stood up, I got hit in the face again and went down for good. Two managed to take down the warlock. Three direct hits (all at once) for 25 HP [I]obliterated[/I] the ranger. The problem was that our dice were cold (the three strikers could not hit!) and the DM's dice were hot (he rolled max damage for attacks multiple times). It would have been a full TPK had the rogue not been faster than the monsters. So for a round she ran around plinking them,but probably could not kill them. We called it at that point. [/QUOTE]
