[QUOTE="touc, post: 8406316, member: 19270"] Getting the heck out of dodge. Two stumbled out of an [I]insect plague [/I]when it was clear things were going south. They would've been dead in one more hit. The third, a player who had just rolled up a cleric after his last character died, was down and dying. He used a stronghold power (Colville's product, after building a temple to the faith can roll for a chance to briefly gain a blessing or curse, and with a really high roll, summon briefly a servant of the gawd, chances increase when doing great deeds for the religion and decrease when using this power or going against ethos). Player rolled really high, against the odds, and summoned a servant briefly that carried him to safety. [I]There's a cool factor that I liked quite a bit. They've been though quite a bit to get this temple and their barony up and going, and to actually, for the first time, see something awesome come from it, makes it worth the months of gaming.[/I] I should add that many sessions ago they came across an [I]elemental gem (water) [/I]and smashed it during the battle. However, the user lost Concentration and the elemental went rogue. The retreat began soon after, and the rampaging elemental bought them a good round to run since it was already engaged. Had the players stayed, they might have taken the mummy down and then likely died to the elemental. It was a no win. [/QUOTE]
