[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 1304507, member: 11434"] Hmm... well, I haven't run enough to have stories, but in one game I was in, one of the PC's was engaged to the love of his life, an half-elf NPC. She was captured by drow. We managed to get to the NPC after she had been in the... kind and gentle... hands of the drow (who were convinced she knew something they wanted to know) for a few days. The PCs killed her tormentors and got to her - but the drow had used a device (of the DM's own creation) that (making the description grandma-friendly) could not be removed without killing her. And, she was in too much pain to force her to live. The [i]player[/i] had tears in his eyes when his PC bid her goodbye and gave her mercy. It was masterful storytelling and roleplaying on everyone's part. On a different part, some of the players in my current group [i]still[/i] growl whenever someone mentions the name of a certain BBEG from a game that took place over 8 years ago, that was run by the same DM as the one above. Apparently, this BBEG was a thorn in the PCs sides since 1st level until the campaign ended (PCs were about 18th level). And, in the final, epic battle the PCs rendered the BBEG powerless - but [i]he still got away[/i]. [/QUOTE]
