[QUOTE="Bryan898, post: 2167173, member: 9085"] We've had a couple: In Return to the Tomb of Horrors you fight a nest of giants in a cavern side cliff (coming in through the back entrance). Instead of waiting, we charge right in, led by the party fighter. He charged and hit the biggest giant he saw, opening a large gash in the leg. The DM smiled evilly and said "Ok now it's my turn." rolls a bit "the giant picks you up and throws you out of the cavern. You begin falling and right before you hit the ground you realize how amazingly stupid you are." We promptly retreated, gathering up our fighter that was now a large bloodstain on the ground. Another fairly high level game, we were delving through a dungeon and found ourselves confronted by a kobold wielding a longsword. We did what any adventurer in their right mind does when confronted by a sword wielding kobold, we laughed and taunted him. Finally the paladin moves in to attack, the kobold wins initiative, and charges the paladin. The DM rolls, crit, rolls plenty of damage dice. "The kobold charges you catching you off guard, lunges, and impales you through the side on his sword. Take 53 damage and save vs massive damage." The paladin with his +20 Fort save rolls a 1... Then the dice continue to kick our collective behind, and five 15th level characters get their butts handed to them by one kobold with his little sword. [/QUOTE]
