This was Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy.Our ship had been boarded and we were rushing to attack the invaders. At one point we heard a weird metallic scuttling sound, and we looked around and couldn't spot it. We believed we had been flanked, but we couldn't locate it and went to fight the bad guys.Finally we saw what it was. It was our captain. He'd been crippled in our first mission and been given a "wheelchair", except he was given segmented legs that carried him around. He had tried to sneak up on the bad guys too but rolled so well he beat all our checks (and didn't respond when we started talking blasting whatever was sneaking up on us). The DM only rolled well for that NPC, who wasn't supposed to be "carrying the team". As for us, we all rolled badly, as WH40K insists on starting PCs being incompetent. (On average, you have a 30.5% chance of succeeding on a task you are trained in.)A DM on the WotC boards did something creepy in Eberron. A monster with very little combat power but great stealth sneaked into the PCs' alarm-warded room and wrote nasty messages on the inside of their door. The PCs freaked out because they had assumed they were safe.So I guess "stealth" is it.</blockquote>
