[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1703655, member: 478"] Our paladin, a halfling no less, just died the second time by failing a save (which he had a 95% chance to succeed on), when he was death attacked by an invisible assassin (the other one was a bodak's gaze some time ago IIRC). How much bad luck can a single person have with saves... Doh! ;) The barbarian died, too, mostly thanks to a 46 damage critical hit and a lot of minor damage. In the end a miserable 24 point [i]flame strike[/i] catched him with a corner, only since he was still [i]enlarged[/i] for the last half round and he failed his reflex save and thus died seconds before we could [i]dimension door[/i] to safety. Not the most lucky streak as well, I might say. And we even had almost won... if not for the other four 8th~10th level NPCs joining the fight, one of which was the aforementioned assassin, where we were already facing some heavy opposition with eight or so NPCs of somwhere between 6th~10th level plus about a hundred 1st level goons (we were inside a goblin palace in a huge goblin city and as soon as we were detected, which was kinda expected, as our party isn't the most stealthy, all hell broke lose). Our party is 8th~9th level with only four PCs present (barbarian/dragon disciple, halfling paladin + riding dog, bard, sorceress/incantatrix, plus a dead mystic theurge in a [i]bag of holding[/i], who died two sessions ago, because he used [i]shield other[/i] on the barbarian and did not care to dismiss the spell, even though the barbarian was almost undamaged, thanks to some fast healing item we found earlier), so we were actually doing pretty good before that. :D But well, at least we got some very valuable information, which will help on our quest... Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
