The cleric activated his "Ring of Invisibility" which was really a "Ring of Teleport." He found himself dizzy and a few hundred miles away--with all of the group's healing potions! In the second round, it was only the human fighter vs. the Shadow. I rolled initiative for the Shadow (2E) and, as he was using "natural weapons" he was at a +0 to intiative. The human was wielding a two-handed sword of some kind and was at +6, I think. I rolled a "1" for the Shadow. Everybody paused and looked at the human's player. He said "Even if I roll a '1' it's going to kill me before I get to go." "Probably," I said. He rolled the d10 (2E, remember) and everyone leaned in to watch.
