Message: <blockquote data-quote="Set" data-source="post: 3265587" data-attributes="member: 41584">I've only retreated once, ever, in 20 years of gaming.It was G-something-or-other, and there were a dozen giants in the room.  The rest of the party had used their Dust of Disappearance two rooms ago, and the Cleric and MU, the only two members of the party who *weren't* invisible and wandering around, stumbled into the great hall, full of giants.  The MU threw Confusion, hoping to buy us some time, which of course affected the weakest creatures first, which happened to include the other four party members, all standing around invisible in the room, getting into backstab position, setting up traps, etc.  Chaos ensues.  I throw up a Blade Barrier to keep them away from myself and the MU in the doorway.  After three rounds of bloody slaughter, the MU happily throwing destructive spells around willy-nilly, while assorted giants and PCs run around doing random things, the thief, whose player wants to kill the MU badly, finally rolls 'Attack Caster' and pumps his fist in the air and charges right through the Blade Barrier to get her.  Unfortunately, he runs out of move right in front of her, and doesn't get an attack that round.  Next round, he rolls 'Wander Away' and turns around and is emulsified by the Blade Barrier.  Ick.  Halfling puree everywhere.At this point, half of the giants are dead, and all of the other party members (Thief, Ranger, Paladin and, uh, something else, and yeah, the Paladin was sneaking around invisibly, preparing to attack from ambush, go, go, code of flexible ethics...).  The MU and Cleric have begun to take fire from boulders and she's in single-digit hp from the one rock that hit her (wimp), so I use Word of Recall and bring her along.My one and only retreat, and since we accidentally killed the entire party first, it's not like there were any witnesses.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
