[QUOTE="National Acrobat, post: 322859, member: 4911"] [b]Sucidal Players-Results[/b] Well, the dwarf doesn't have to worry about that anymore. His character was one of the ones that have gone to meet their god. The battle took place after the group met for Pizza and planned for about an hour. The funny thing is that they did an excellent job of prepping and finally worked together. The bad news is, that while it wasn't a TPK, it was fairly damaging. The worst part was that they charged across about 1,000 feet of open field to strike where the drow were located. Both sides had the usual spells upon their characters: Bull's Strength, Cat's grace, Protections from Arrows, Various Resist Elements, Divine Might, Shield of Faith, etc. so it ended up being more evenly matched. Once they got into battle however, things didn't go so well. The invisibility purge that the drow had up negated 3 characters and their invivibility spells (the Rog6/Cleric6; Psion12 and Cleric 12 of Heironious) and once they found that out they just set up for group melee. The Priest of Heironious died first, failing a save against a Destruction spell. The Half Orc Rgr1/Ftr6/Foe5 died next, being killed by the bladesinger in melee.

The Party lost Half Ogre Brb1/Ftr10/Rgr1 Cleric 12 of Heironious Ftr3/Enchanter6/Arcane3 Ftr7/Clr5 of Clangeddin Rgr1/Ftr6/Foe5 Surviving Psion12 Rgr6/Rog6 Clr6/Rog6 Wiz12 Clr9/Abj3 Should be interesting next week. The nominal leader of those left is the Clr6/Rog6 and she only wants to try to raise the Clr12. [/QUOTE]
