Message: <blockquote data-quote="Delgar" data-source="post: 803330" data-attributes="member: 3195">My Most Heroic moment would probably be the first living greyhawk game I ever played.Half the party was chasing down some crazed cultists trying to throw a magical wicker statue in the bonfire and the other half including my newly created 1st level cleric, a 2nd level paladin and 2nd level sorceress hang back and get jumped by a werewolf mage. The paladin has the only silver weapon (I loned my one and only silver bolt to the barbarian who was using it to bring down cultists!). The sorceress is the first to go down, I stablize her, then the paladin falls. The rest of the party managed to stop the cultists, but 2 are unconcious and the barbarian falls to -1 as his rage ends. There I am staring into the red beady eyes of the werewolf covered in the gore of my companions wounded, and the rest of my party is slowly bleeding to death. I grab the silver axe and hold it clumsily in front of me, I'm shaking in absolute terror. The wolf lunges at me and I bat him away with my shield. I swing awkwardly at the wolf with the axe, a weapon I've never used before praying to Pelor to grant me victory for the sake of my friends and of the people. The wolf laughs at my feeble attempt and rakes me with his claws, but my armor holds. I strike a glancing blow and the wolf momentarily steps back, but strikes out in a rage, I feel a pain in my side where his claws gouge. I feel my strength failing. If I fail, my friends will die, the town will fall into chaos. With all my strength I swing the axe, I feel it bite flesh and hit bone. The wolf stares at me in utter disbelief, that he's been beaten and collapses to the ground ripping the axe out of my hands. I stare for a moment at the body of the wolf-man with the silver axe lodged in his spine in complete shock and then quickly try to save my dying companions.That was my first ever Living Greyhawk experience, also my first RPGA experience. It was a blast, my lowly non-combat cleric saved the day using a weapon he wasn't proficient with. You have to love rolling two 20's in a row. Pelor was shining on me that day!Delgar</blockquote>
