The unfortunate dwarven target was toe to toe with a Banelich (FR), wielding a Lifedrinker Morning star - every successful hit applies 2 negative levels to the target. By the rules a successul critical hit with an energy draining attack caused twice the level drain (very scary) in that run. One crit and one hit in the first round applied 6 negative levels... out of 11 character levels, followed by three successful hits - 2 levels, 2 levels, Critical for 4 - bringing the intrepid adventurer to a whopping 14 negative levels in two rounds. Barring that, the nastiest critical scenario was the Khaasta rogue/barbarian who criticalled once per round in an every other pattern on the two PCs meleeing him, and due to his henchmen and pets flanking got sneak attack damage on each hit. In five rounds, the PCs in question bobbed from copious health to unconsciousness and back twice each, thanks to healing effects. I think the Khaasta missed once in the whole time due to hideously good die rolls.</blockquote>
