[QUOTE="Greybar, post: 287900, member: 4938"] "An unstoppable monster, like the Balrog/Balor released by delving dwarves. The heroes can only hope to escape it -- and, perhaps, rescue some hapless allies. " Heh... casting the mind back about a year... "The paladin slowly begins to turn, searching the sound that has set the ranger on edge. Something is following them. There is a brief snap that the ranger's ears pick up, and he points the paladin towards a tree. She places a hand upon her sword, and calls upon her goddess-given powers to see the soul of evil. Her breath suddenly fails her, her eyes glazing over as the force of the evil aura stuns her." [back at the gaming table] player1: "Um, what does it mean when you're stunned by your own Detect Evil?" [quick flip] player2: "It has at least twice her level." [panic ensues] player3: "okay, we're 6th level. How many 3rd level villains could we knock off without trying? That's us..." And that's when the Deeper Darkness enveloped the party. Fortunately the intruder wanted to size them up, not attack them, and it slipped away after taking a vicious Sneak Attack on the paladin. They're two levels higher now. Perhaps they're ready to challenge the evil now. Of course, perhaps it has gained two levels also... John [/QUOTE]
