[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5660772, member: 97602"] Point the first, they'd probably have the intelligence to do the first with a small group of Hill Giants while the rest battered them from the far rear. I've never had a DM try to make a Dragon Grapple me. For less powerful creatures, I remember once that my first DM threw a horde of Orcs at us. Now, don't get me wrong, we thought we were going to step in, Fireball, and walk away... but that didn't quite work out as planned. None of them had weapons. They merely swarmed over us, pinned us to the floor, and knocked us unconcious from repeated blows to the head. With no spell components, no weapons, no armour, and no items, our company of 6th-8th level characters were effectively useless for quite some time in that campaign. During which, we were assailed from below by Earth Elementals trying to pull us into the ground where we would suffocate (got the Thief), a group of Hill Giants moved massive boulders to the side of a hill and toppled them onto us (I lost an arm), a Rakshasa infiltrated our group and killed our Wizard's familiar in the night, and after a myriad of mishaps and trials, our group was TPK'd in a cavern that had been shaped by illithids to magnify their Mind Blast with acoustic properties. Two Mind Flayers managed to kill four 10th-11th level characters. It was a dissatisfying end to the campaign, we were so close. [/QUOTE]
