[QUOTE="OnlineDM, post: 5227149, member: 90804"] In my last in-person campaign my third-level wizard (poor Zod) was [URL="http://onlinedm.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/the-death-of-zod/"]killed by slimes[/URL]. Our party had just finished a battle (the first of the day) against what we knew was the big boss of the area, a cave troll (who was in a lake, no less!). We expended most of our dailies, but still had lots of surges left so pressed on a little farther. We encountered a room full of a wide variety of slimes, including about 15 minions and some bigger ones that could engulf. The minions had the annoying ability to slide the target of their attack a couple of squares on a hit. They soon slid our Warden to the opposite side of the chamber by herself and then brought my Wizard over for good measure. Zod was knocked unconscious, then coup de graced by one of the big slimes, and that was all she wrote. The rest of the party made it out only thanks to our ranger rolling a 20 on a death save, followed by some more good luck. We wrapped up the campaign after that to kick off a new one. It was just an encounter that got out of hand before we knew what hit us, and retreat became very, very difficult due to the sliding power of the minions. Oops. [/QUOTE]
