[QUOTE="thatdarncat, post: 1395897, member: 57"] well, while I have killed PCs, generally they are more of the "ok, the orc Crits and hits you for *roll roll roll* mm love great axes... that'll be 32 points of damage. What are you at now?" "-17." "oh." I killed one PC offstage between the Sunless Citidel and the Forge of Fury. The PC, a monk, decided to leave the party, not knowing his GF was a sucubus. One sacrifice later, he came back as a spell stitched tyrant fog zombie with fear and summon undead spells. As the party traveled back to the Forge from town (returning hostages, getting one of the party raised - the orc Crit above) with 10 of the town guard sent to recover loot, they noticed a familiar figure standing in a field off to one side. In retrospect, I was perhaps a little hard on the PCs. A low level ally of the sucubus cast Obscuring Mist and fled. While the party was busy dealing with the fog and skeletons who'd appeared (summoned) in the middle of the group, (more summoned) ghouls and ghasts started taking out the town guard with them. I house rule Ghoul and Ghast spawning time to 1d4 rounds instead of 1d4 days, just for the zombie movie feel. Between the Mist, the screams of terror and the Zombie's fear spells, half the party fled. The other half were slowly killed - often with their brains eaten alive. Was much fun, and the PCs enjoyed the encounter, but for a (mostly) 4th level party with 6 members, it was perhaps a bit much (CR5 IIRC) [/QUOTE]
