[QUOTE="Zanticor, post: 5280472, member: 65408"] Grapple is always a pain if your not prepared. Good on him that there wasn't a rogue around to give a full sneak attack cause that always ends up bad for grapplers. With my barbarians I always take close quarter fighting to avoid those things but disarming and then grappling... good on him! We play a very long and drawn out version of "The Night Below". Its a second edition game that had to be converted to third and then to 3.5. I think we are in our sixth year now and my guys are all level 19-20 by now. I think we only need 5 more combat sessions to finish of the BBEG aboleth mother at the end, but things like nation building keep getting up. After the long investment it seems hard to finally make it stop for real. Of course nothing is certain with the challenges I'm still lining up for them but I can't seem to really stop them. I hope my end battle will be as epic as the ones I read over the years on you story hours. On a side note I have to report my version of Tower Cleaver (Minotaur war hulk barbarian) just died our last session. A golem made of the bones of sacrificed mages and clerics got him in the end. While his master mind flayer was being grappled by his brother Alhoon, the golem grabbed (It's always the grapple isn't it) the Minotaur and incorporated him into his body.
