[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 258815, member: 1451"] This was pretty funny for all involved but me. As our party was leaving town one day, we were waylaid by some assassins and various other creatures. We were around 7th level. As we were we getting attacked by several assassins, rogues, and a few giant spiders, a wizard was dropping fireballs on us from a few hundred feet away. So, my multiclassed rogue and the monk decided we would run away and deal with the wizard before every one got burned, literally. Well, I reached the wizard just before the monk did, and was greeted by an invisible fighter guarding the wizard. SMACK! No big deal, for I still had about 70 hitpoints or so (high con, good rolls). So I smack the wizard pretty good, but not good enough. The monk comes in and finishes off the wizard, but this took a few rounds. While this was happening, the fighter was hitting me, and hitting me HARD. The rolls were just too good. Right after the monk knocks the wizard down (a good thing, because the party was on the brink of dying because of all of the fireballs), the fighter knocks the monk down. I take 2 rounds getting a potion out (and administering it) to save the monk while getting smacked (more good rolls) by the fighter's full attacks. When the monk becomes concious, what does he do? He stands up and moves away from the fighter, leaving me all alone. Needless to say, I was pissed off because that left me as the only target for this fighter's full attack. I was killed because I saved a coward monk AND THE ENTIRE PARTY. Several sessions later, I was quite happy after we killed a vampire with Whirlwind Attack and a Ring of Blinking (a NASTY combo!). This made up for the death that happened before. Looking back, it was fairly comical. [/QUOTE]
