In Episode I (which, coincidentally, ocurred at the inaugural DC Gameday a few years back), the intrepid adventurers was travelling to the Isle of Mons to retrieve some artifacts that would help repel the Saxons. We were doing reasonably well, although Xath as Bronwyn forgetting why 'reach' is dangerous and getting smacked across the field of combat like a baseball was amusing. At a certain point we encountered a body of water which began spewing forth zombies.
We dispatched the zombies and survived in reasonably good form. We noticed something shiny at the bottom of the lake, and thinking it our macguffin, proceded to try and retrieve it. 3/4 of the party then proceeded to roll critical failures -- sometimes more than once -- on the swim checks. We nearly had a TPK at our moment of triumph just from drowning in a placid pool of H2O.
In any event, we eventually recovered the item, Brother T pretty much finished himself off casting a wind-walk ritual, and the rest of the party fought back the Saxon invaders in the nick of time.
Episode Two had the band coming together to stop a dark ritual (I played this one at GenCon 06, again as Brother T). The first one had some puzzles and social stuff mixed in with the combat, but Episode Two was almost all combat. We were such bad-asses we even split the party into three groups and still managed to save the day.
I've grown rather fond of Brother Temerius. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action again.
It just occurred to me, too, that The Universe, Queen D, reveal, Rystil Arden, Old One and myself were all in that second session at GenCon and are all going to be at the Gameday.
