All of this, of course, despite taking half an hour of real time to explain, is actually planned in the three seconds before combat begins. Round one: the Balor wins initiative and casts Fire Storm. TPK.B - "What, another? I squash it with the +13 Holy Keen Vorpal Brilliant Energy Shocking Burst Dancing Pre-Errata Bladed Gauntlets which I stole from Paladine last session" *rolls a 3 to hit* "I hit AC 56. It's a crit threat too..."C - You attempt to talk with it, on the off-chance that it could actually be an angst-ridden fiend struggling to do good against its demonic nature. Unfortunately, you get eaten before the end of the first sentence.D - You just can't help yourself: you scream to the rest of the party "Fly, fools!" and then throw yourself at the fiend hoping to bring it with you to certain death after an epic one-on-one fight, while giving your friends enough time to escape. Unfortunately, you get killed by an AoO before reaching melee range.</blockquote>
