[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 1275773, member: 1015"] DM: (rolls) The troll strikes you again, dealing 32 damage and knocking you to the ground. Aragorn: Okay, I won't stand up, since that would provoke an AoO. Instead, I'll draw my dagger and stab the troll in the foot. (rolls a few times) DM: You hit it for 5 damage. Aragorn: Dammit. I came this far, only to get waxed by a troll. DM: ...Um, suddenly, the troll runs away. In fact, the Dark Lord's entire army suddenly breaks and retreats. In the distance, you see the dark tower crumbling. Congratulations, the dark lord has been destroyed and the quest is over! Aragorn: ...You're serious. Legolas: It's over just like that? DM: Just like that. Gandalf: And to think, I was saving up all the spell charges in my staff for the battle with the BBEG. Merry: Wait a minute, I just noticed that Eowyn and I are flanking the Witch-King. Sneak-attack damage, here I come! (rolls) Ooh, good rolls. I inflict 54 damage. DM: The witch-king pitches forward and screams as your sword strikes a painful blow. Eowyn: I attack with my longsword, sacrificing my full BAB to do a Power Attack and weilding it as a two-handed weapon since the bastard broke my shield. (rolls twice) Ooh, a critical hit! I deal... (rolls) ... 47 damage! DM: Uh... you thrust your sword into his helmet and he dies. Merry: Really? I thought the Witch-King was supposed to be a major badass. Eowyn: Yeah, that dire tiger we fought in our other campaign was a bigger challenge. [/QUOTE]
