Let your ranger wisdom guide me into the purity of gaming in eternal glory. [sblock]Father Wicket, it has been many years since I have confessed. I feel most guilty about an adventure I ran almost two years ago. It was a campaign where a kobold cult was trying to summon a demon in an E6 Pathfinder game, with extra low magic (no magic items other than scrolls and some potions). The party came to the ruined keep in the swamp and fought the kobold guardians. It was here the party paladin fell, slain by a series of unlucky rolls against his armor class. The criticals dropped his HP before any help could arrive from the party. The party then followed in-character beliefs to burn the fallen paladin in his home land. So they fled the keep.However, I had a rule for this game that actions always had consequences. Just inside the keep in it's dungeon a group of kobolds was performing the ritual. They were stuck in the ritual and had no ways of defending themselves. But the party never entered to stop the demon. To me this meant the demon was summoned. And so I created the balrog like monster (troll with half-fiend template and some tweaking and the magic sword and whip). The demon attacked the city where the party was, and I didn't hold back. The party was brilliant, they stopped the horde of kobolds and helped the city defenders before going after the demon. But they fell. It was a TPK and they still bring it up when we talk of old campaigns. The TPK was the next session after the paladin was slain. I killed one player's characters back to back.[/sblock]What penance must I pay, Father Wicket to relieve this burden of guilt?</blockquote>
