[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 2167587, member: 1792"] This one happened in a 2e Al-Qadim game. Our group was trying to chase down a member of the evil Brotherhood of the True Flame (flame-specialist wizards). The dossier on the particular wizard were were after was that he was an insane pyromaniac. He had a plan to set bombs made of greek fire and gunpowder throughout the city to spread tholy fire and terror. Our PC cleric unintentionally cornered the guy in his hideout which turned out to be the very lab where he was making the gunpowder and greek fire. As he looked around, he realized that the place was stacked floor-to-ceiling with barrels of gunpowder, lamp oil and greek fire. He also discovered that the guy we were looking for was standing in the center of the room with a lit torch and open kegs of greek fire and black powder. Once the BBEG saw him, he demanded that the cleric back off or he'd light it up. The cleric then responded with words now infamous to us, "You wouldn't dare." To make a long story short, we had to restart the campaign that night. The rest of us were scaling the walls of the warehouse to come in and back up the cleric so we never even saw the explosion. We just saw a flash all around us and the next thing any of us knew were in the afterlife. The resulting explosion killed the flame mage, all of us, and several thousand people in the surrounding area. The fires in the city raged on for days. Thankfully, my character had a noble marid in his service who wasn't at the disaster. He used his powers to wind back time and allow us to undo that disastrous mission once he figured out what happened. Since then, that mission has gone down in infamy as our worst disaster.
