I am also of like mind that the PC's shouldn't have to encounter only things of their challenge rating or lower. The world is a dangerous place with dangerous creatures. They DM could have had the harpies be at this particular location his whole campaign. If the PC's stumbled upon them when they weren't ready to face them, then I hope they are good at running. To me the barbarian did something very very stupid. Being alone and flying through the air is just like standing down-range on a firing squad. You are just asking for trouble. They only complaint I would really have is that we don't know if there is a plot with the harpies. (It appears there isn't) A good DM has a reason for everything, even if it's a simple reason. Simple reasons can actually lead to complex plot devices when players are invloved.Just to re-emphasize one of my points. When players are out and about, they have a chance of running into something that can mop the floor with them. Doesn that mean if they do encounter it that they will die? No... it simply means they need to be careful in the world and how they travel about, and they need to have plans of escape. Also, not every creature you meet has the ultimate goal of killing you (This may be a surprise to some people). Sometimes the evil bad guys just like showing you that they can rub your face in the dirt and enjoy watching you get angry over it.</blockquote>
