[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1671155, member: 6875"] Heh. I managed to pull an "indiana Jones" in the last, campaign-ending encounter in a Ravenloftgame. With a Turn Undead attempt. To add insult to injury, I had the Sun domain, and it was a GREATER turning. *poof*, no more BBEG, mwa ha ha ha. The party had been tormented all along by this nasty, vile, [b]persistent[/b] bugaboo (which was fast developing into a nascent new Darklord, mind - due inno small part toOUR ever-increasing paranoia ...). He was a ghost-[i]thingie[/i]-whatsit of some sort, who went by the name of "Billy Boo" - we defeated him in our first adventure, but ... er ... he kinda got ... "attached", I guess is the best (only?) way to explain it. Well there we are, in the final battle of the campaign, and I'm [b]about[/b] to chuck (another) Searing Light at him, when I suddenly stop, say "Wait a minute! What theheck am I thnking? Desert, never mind that spell ... Stefan justholds forth his holy symbol, and declares 'In the name of hope eternal, by the power of the Morninglord, I say to you ... GET THEE DOWN, unclean creature! Return forevermore unto the darkness which spawned thee!' ... and my action will be a Greater Turnign attempt (god I love the Sun Domain)" (I was waxing a bit poetic at the time, sue me). Well, I rolled, I got a natural 20, and had a pretty good charisma (16, IIRC). He was only two or three HD ahead of Stefan's level (including turn resistance), so ... *POOF*, with an absolutely [b]dumbfounded[/b] look on his (and the GM's) face ... Billy Boo disappeared, along with the uber-nightmare circus-from-hell hallucination it had sucked us all into. End of fight ... end of story ... [i]end of campaign.[/i] And [b]what[/b] an end it was; obviously, the event has burned itself into my memory rather well. ^_^ Thankfully, even the GM, Desert, had to agree - sinc hte campaign was ending anyway, it was a GREAT way for Bily Boo to go out ... with more of a whimper than a bang, but a very dramatically-[b]imposed[/b] whimper. Hee! ^_^ I *still* get a stupid grin on my face whenever I think of that night, and it's been ... lord, I think two or three [i]years[/i] since then. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
