Well, one of their brothers wanted to play. He started getting annoying and the characters were encountering a basilisk. I tell him it is looking into his eyes and he yells, "I stare straight back!"Needless to say he got turned to stone and his brother kicked him out of the room, which I though was pretty harsh. Later in the adventure there was a green dragon and the older brother's character flew up and backstabbed it. I think he had boots of flying. Well, he rolled a one, missed, fell to the ground and stepped on by the dragon, killing. He had tried backstab at somewhere around 5 hit points and we were fairly high level. We then kicked him out the room, lol.Now, some 13 years later, we just had the funnest session last week. We only have 3 people, so normally I DM. One of the characters an elven werescorpion swordmage, and the other is an elven wizard. Since we have so few people, each have a bodyguard. Well I told them they weren't for tanks and not to abuse them. So the characters are at 10th level, and are going through a special 10th level adventure. They are attacking the leader of a cult of Orcus that has been enticing tribes of nomadic humans to turn war with tribes of orcs. The characters run the only point of light town for nearly hundreds of miles, so stopping these humans is vital to keep trade going since the orcs and humans are terrorizing the landscape and riots. So they have made it inside the temple of Orcus and have to fall back to the front gate. Well, the werescorpion PC orders the guards to stand up front by themselves to block the on coming assault. An act that would have surely been suicide. One of the bodyguards then mouths off to the PC. The PC then attacks one of the guards with his poisonous stinger.The oncoming fight turned out to be the funnest combat ever because each round there was so much roleplaying and confusion. The guards had each others back, the other PC wouldn't join the fight. The guards tried getting out and leaving the PCs and telling everyone in the town what had happened.Then the onslought from the leader of the temple of Orcus and his personal guard comes. Then the guards still keep fighting the PCs while falling back. The elven wizard has a set of dimensional shackles and uses those on one of the guards. Then coupe de graces him.Meanwhile the onslaught from the Orcus crew were really hurting the PCs, so they head for the gate and behind them, the guard is running, still attacking them. So the wizard throws up an invisible wall, the guard stops, and a rain of arrows kills the second guard. The PCs escaped at 2 & 7 hp. However, they failed their quest to kill the Orcus leader and will now have to do a few extra sessions to reach paragon tier.</blockquote>
