Have you ever done something that was so ingeneous that even the DM bowed to your skills? List them here to share:
background:
My group was mid level (10-13) and was on a mission from a church to retrieve a sacred artifact stolen from them back when the church was weak. Now that it is stronger, it wants it back, but cannot deal with the opposing church directly because it would violate some sacred law of rivalry. It hired us to go retrieve it. In return, they would give us one 'wish'.
We finally made it to the church which was in chaos from internal struggle for domination. The weaker of the two factions had the artifact, but was poised to lose it, and their lives to the greater faction. he Illicited or help, which would have been the deciding factor. We agreed to help if he gave us the artifact- expecting a backstab (the DM loves that). So after he won, he said that he cannot keep the resistence down unless one of us stays to help him. We agreed- but only if he paid us handsomely...we left the fighter there (fighter wa thoroughly upset)
He gave us the artifact, and as we were leaving teh church, the wiz and cleric and rogue all fired all their heavy hitting missiles at him (a couple fireballs, lightning bolts, flame strike, sneak attack true arrows) and the fighter died.- he was thoroughly PISSED OFF....
edit:we had a ranger with a wand of fireballs and a sorc there too
We got back to the church and gave them the artifact. In return, we asked the church to "true resurrect" the fighter. It was a long shot- but the church obliged cause they got the artifact back- and we got mondo XP from both the battle- and killing the fighter. he was happy- cause we used the money to buy him a cool Greatsword (+1 vorpal)
