[QUOTE="Musing Mage, post: 8082655, member: 7025552"] My 1st Ed campaign came back from a 6 month COVID induced hiatus for a single session to finish off a lingering arc. I had spent months seeding and setting up a False Hydra storyline, which culminated in the group confronting the beast and its thralls - the last remnants of the townsfolk and a few adventurers. Without getting into the nitty gritty specifics of the fight, our heroes (A 7th level human Magic-user, 5th level dwarf fighter, 5th level human ranger, 4/3 half-elf Ranger/Cleric, 3rd level human fighter (NPC), 2 HD orc (NPC), 1st level human thief (NPC)) had an epic fight that they were easily controlling until suddenly the dice said, 'psych! Time to lose!' It was a bittersweet end to the story as our heroes went down swinging, losing their lives but also leaving the monster with no means of surviving much longer itself, unable to move and with no food. But the adventure is complete... nothing worse than a lingering scenario... Two of my 5 usual players had been sitting this arc out, so their characters will continue on, and the others will have new characters when we finally reconvene more regularly. All in all, a good death for all involved and no one seemed dissatisfied with the conclusion. [/QUOTE]
