[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5956835, member: 2093"] [b]Poor Wilhelm![/b] My 4th level PCs had wandered onto the 6th level of a dungeon, of their own free will. They fought skeletons in a collapsed region, and did quite well, so they were feeling quite full of themselves, and moved on. They managed to turn two wights and cross through that chamber; on the other side they discovered a deep pit that had a gate to some unknown fiery region within it. Now, the whole dungeon level had plainly been toasted at some point, the walls all badly scarred with fire. The skeletons had had fiery attacks, and the wights had blazing red eyes. So the rogue, Gunter, walks up to the pit, and is "amazed" when a pair of hellhounds emerge. He tumbles away, but the next round two more hellhounds emerge. Three rounds later, the rogue is in negatives, but Wilhelm the cleric, in melee with two of the hounds, is taken down to -4. Elrohir, the wizard, finally manages to kill ONE of them, but the second of the hounds facing him grabs hold of his body and hauls it halfway back to the fiery pit. Next round, before anyone else can get free, he drags the cleric over the edge and into the flames... I'm absolutely certain that later on, the PCs are going to meet a very familiar looking fiery undead of some sort. [/QUOTE]
