[QUOTE="meomwt, post: 5600927, member: 47885"] A group I DM'ed 2e for - many, many years ago - had a couple of stand-out moments. These included: [LIST] [*]The Wild Mage being executed by the Fighter, then the Illusionist/ Thief going back to loot the body [*]Rescuing a bunch of human slaves from an Orc city, then razing it to the ground [*]Using a [I]Stone Shape[/I] spell to catch a Black Dragon, who was sitting on the roof of a stone outhouse and gloating after reducing the Dwarven Cleric to a pile of bones [*]And preventing Llolth from reaching the Prime Material by leaving a [I]Bag of Holding[/I] right where her [I]Dimensional Gateway[/I] was about to open. [/LIST] Best of the lot, however, was managing to acquire an [I]Arrow of Dragon Slaying[/I] (after a long and arduous quest) and realising that the only person good enough to use it on the Red Dragon marauding through the hills was the Fighter who generally rolled a 1 to hit. He was given all kinds of buffs (gloves of dexterity, magic bows, etc.) and waited on the mountains. The Illusionist/ Thief conjured a vision of another Dragon to distract the Red, and the Fighter drew the bow. He rolled. The die tumbled, bounced and stopped. On a 20. The entire room exploded in a huge cheer as the Red Dragon aged to death in about a minute. [/QUOTE]
