Than a mummy lord emerged from the  pyramid and finished off what was left of the orc hoards.Did the mummy lord kill the players? Nope, he felt they freed him from banishment, so he let them go. Of course I never expected one of my players to throw a magic bean at a hoard of orcs but hey you never know till you try. Plus the role playing was just plain magical as the players were scared crappless by this guy. Now the players will have to come back and deal with him at a higher level.I suppose I could have just killed the party outright, but I felt that with them freeing the Mummy lord (off the cuff improvising) He just took pity on them and let them go. The key thing here is, to be a good DM, you gotta like to lose and not say no to your players. And hey, it was an interesting situation that got alot of RP out of it and it was fun.So give your players a chance, TPK's are just a real downer I think.Scott</blockquote>
