RttToEE.Spoiler Alert!.....They had already breached the water temple gate but were finding it difficult and so decided to find another way in, ie. the main gate.By the time they got there, though, other things happened and they had levelled up. So instead of assaulting the main gate at around 5th-6th level, they assaulted it at 7th-8th level.It was a massacre.At first, they were all, sneaky-sneaky, spy-spy, but once they realized the worst opposition they would face was a bunch of gnolls, they got a bit cocky and tried to pull a ruse with a hat of disguise.The master was called (Mereclar) because it was all a bit suss (hell, even a gnoll could tell something was up it was so obvious) and he called Terrennygit. That's when all the gates of hell opened up...I can't remember specific details, but essentially, everybody was invisible, and people started shooting and attacking and the middle chamber filled up with skeletons and gnolls and human guards and then the sorcerer used his newest spell, Shadow Conjuration, to obliterate everything in the hall with a Shadow Acid Breath.Nobody saved...Cloaks of Arachnida (from Lareth... yes, they had already gone and taken him out), lots of Haste spells, a few Shadow Conjured Bisons, a bard who though trapped for six rounds in a web didn't bother singing, a few crits from a maul after Bull's Strength and Weapon of Impact had been applied, and wala, no more main gate.Despite a constant flow of new enemies from everywhere that could hear the battle and cared (the howler was nice, caused a lot of pain <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), it was basically all over from the moment it began.What I had thought would take numerous sessions and lots of sneaking, ended up being a huge bloodbath of pure carnage and destruction that Tharizdun would've been proud to have caused.Ironic, eh?</blockquote>
