[QUOTE="Trit One-Ear, post: 5790113, member: 6678017"] This is a story from a while ago, but a classic in our group. Two trolls were chasing the party down a tight 10 ft corridor, back towards the entrance to a dungeon. Hopelessly outmatched, the heroes had no hope but to run for it. The mage thought he'd slow the trolls down by polymorphing one. He spun around, cast the spell, and when the DM asked him what he was morphing the troll into... he froze. He couldn't think of what animal would also slow the second troll. The DM gave him 5 seconds to decide and he blurted out "A blue whale!" ... After a little research and quick calculations, the DM decided that if a troll suddenly became a 120 ton whale in a 10ft corridor, it would essentially be a "blubber bomb." The whale exploded outwards, killing both the whale-troll and his compatriot, while sending the heroes flying down the hallway into the room they had come from. Several landed in the lava river in the past room, while other splatted on the wall behind it. Almost a TPK, but memorable. [/QUOTE]
