[QUOTE="megamania, post: 961834, member: 9255"] SPECACULAR DEATH SEQUENCES FORTH COMING> SCENES TOO GRISLY FOR THE RIGHT MINDED> GAMERS MAY CONTINUE. Okay- this is a simple version of what happened. They storm the tower but going up the exposed long trail. First they run into Vagabonded Trolls. No biggy, they handled that well but I got them to use up some of their heat/fire spells (can't allow them to have those for Frost Giants!) Next they run into about 30 orcs. No biggy since they are 9-10th level at this point and except for two Vagabonded orcs, they are the standard type. They let the bosses escape so as to kill off more Orcs (getting no points of EXP for it). They reliese their mistake once they heard the Orc leaders call to the guards on the wall. The tower has been alerted to their presence. So what they reply and go for the front gate. The Frost Giants below are steadily climbing up the cliff. They don't see this. About 6 "Johns" ready their bows at the front gate. Inside...well that's a surprise. Xor backtracks once Bull and Brute are shot at. jargan trying his dwarven plate mailed best to scatter as two large boulders are bowled through the open gate narrowly missing the preoccupied party members. At this time, the two remaining staggalers from a previous warrior party arrive. They want in and were hiding to scout the place. They are Keth and a short lived elf. The battle is a stand still until the frostgiants from below arrive. The archers stop in fear of hitting their own forces. Bull and Brute try to force the giants off the cliff edge before they can stand up. No good. Keth is battered hard. Jargan even harder. Unknown to them, there is a vagabonded frost giant inside. He climbs over the far wall and moves around using the wall for cover. Brute finishes off his foe. He feels invulnible within his Demon armor. DEATH SCENE The Leader charges up his boulders with psionic energy then steps out. "Oh- a new giant to kill" He crits on Boulder #1 nearly killing him outright. He gets a 19 on his next strike! Feeling bad that he will proberly die, I say "roll a d20. A "1" and you are shot off the cliff edge. Anything else and you live." The entire party moans as a "1" is rolled. Specacular! Hit twice but psychokinetically charged boulders thrown by a frost giant at about only 50ft range. One crits and the other tosses him off of a 100ft cliff. At this point, the party knows they did this ALL WRONG. but it is too late. Jargan dies next before the leader is brought down. Xor finishes off the archers and the remainder of the two groups limp into the walled courtyard of the tower. Inside are a robed figure, and two Johns holding a female. The robed figure breaks away and runs to the glowing tower. The Johns loosen their grips on the woman whom breaks free. She crunches on John's foot with the heel of her shoe and breaks the nose of the second. As she is ranting about killing them over and over with magic if she had some the robed figure escapes by using a portal. The glow dies down and they head back. [/QUOTE]
