[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 699472, member: 3060"] Every DM will testify that hours of preparation are spent for a particlular encounter only to have all of that worked dashed when his players come up with an incredible bout of luck or a plan he hadn't considered. Let's hear all about your "best laids plans of mice and men" stories... I've got two. The first occurred while taking my group through the Mines of Bloodstone (we were playing 2nd ed.). They were in the part of the story where they go through the Tests of Orcus and came upon the sleeping Terrasque. I was certain this would take a couple of gaming sessions. The rogue turned invisible, successfully sneaked over to the slumbering beast and used her Sword of Nine Lives Stealing to sneak attack. She rolled a natural 20. Endgame. The second incident occurred when a party member was playing an epic level homebrew character (essentially a super lizardman) and was inside the adventure Nightmare Keep. There is a spot where two undead dragon turtles are encountered. The character has a dire flail of disruption. You guessed it. Two natural 20's in a row. Boom! No more dragon turtles... So?
