Just as a note, there are some spoilers to the Pathfinder adventure Master of the Fallen Fortress in here.We played MotFF as a one-shot to celebrate the visit of an old group member who we hadn't seen since last year. The adventure wasn't a TPK, but it came close. The first death occurred before the others and the character's son was brought in as a replacement (using the same character sheet 'cause we didn't have time to make a new character). The casters died during the final battle and the rogue was killed during the legal proceedings following the adventure. The Fighter and the NPC they rescued escaped alive, as did the main villain, though he did so without any followers or method of returning to his underground home. All in all, it was a successful adventure. For the fighter at least. I'm pleased that the one PC to survive was our visiting friend, it really made her happy too, so I'd say I'm proud of how this game went. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />System: PathfinderAdventure: Master of the Fallen FortressBio: P.T.B.I. (Put the boot in) Jenkins, Male LE Half Orc Rogue (Thug)Cause of death: Burning skeletons, and a rogue specializing in nonlethal damage trying to act like a fighter around immune-to-nonlethal undead.Notes:This was about halfway through the adventure, and the fighter's player, who was used to playing rogue-ish PCs wanted to stay at the back like she usually does, so the rogue decided he would take the front. Multiple damage rolls from claw attacks plus fire damage, and damage each round from collapsing inside the flame aura made the burning skeletons very dangerous, and the rest of us were one round too late in finishing them off.Bio: Junior Jenkins, Male LE Half Orc Rogue (Thug) 1Cause of death: Attempted to team-kill his one remaining teammate after the 2 listed below had died, then got knocked out by the NPC they had rescued, and was executed for attempted murder.Notes: I didn't realize that the character's alignment was an evil until he declared he was team-killing, I warned him that'd turn him evil, and he told me that Jr. was already evil. I decided not to make a big deal of it since the adventure was at its end either way. It was going to end up with either him or the fighter as the last one standing, and Jr.'s dumped Wisdom ended up being his downfall when he took a sleep spell from the bard NPC they'd rescued and he couldn't roll high enough to make the save.Bio: Chimi Sonan Yeshing, Female LG Samsaran Cleric (of Tsukiyo) 1Cause of death: 60-foot fall upon failed reflex save as an overhanging ledge gave way beneath the party, she was taken directly from full HP to death upon hitting the ground.Notes: This was the first PC that this player had ever made entirely on her own. I'm slightly sad to have killed her in her first adventure with this new PC, especially in such a pathetic way as a fall.Bio: Acholate, Female CG Half Elf Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline) 1Cause of death: Same 60-foot fall as Chimi, was also taken directly from full HP to death upon hitting the ground.Notes:GMPC, Pregen Sorcerer, Acholate was one of four Pregens I'd created for this adventure, and I ended up having to bring her in when our fourth player cancelled at the last minute. Being a pregen, she mysteriously turned up in her favourite tavern the day after her death, alive and drinking as if nothing had happened, and ready for more adventures to come her way.Escaped Death:Bio: Nesteruk, Male N Half Orc Fighter 1Notes: Pregen Fighter, it was the player's first time playing a class other than Bard or Rogue, she requested a non-caster because she didn't want to deal with the added layer of complexity, so I gave her the least skill-monkey inclined of the non-caster pregens I'd made, to help expand her horizons a little.</blockquote>
