Message: <blockquote data-quote="Joachim" data-source="post: 1375865" data-attributes="member: 9531">Actually, that was me that died.  The lowpoint during that encounter for Joe's character was when he got bullrushed off of a staircase to fall 100 feet below, but he survived.  That party was awesome.  Everyone made their characters separately, and ironically enough, EVERYONE MADE A DWARF!!  That rocked so hard, until we needed to be able to move more than 15 feet per round.  There was a near TPK in the first Temple of Orcus in that one mega-adventure (the name escapes me right now).  We could have won the fight, but someone (*COUGH* LEE *COUGH*) forgot that he had a ring of three limited wishes.  So my character (the Grimm prototype, named Gromm) died and his corpse was left to be consumed by an unholy cult while the rest of the party fled like cowards.I enjoy DM'ing as well, and Jollydoc's character's death at the hands of the Displacer Beasts was the direct result of his reluctant volunteering to be the tank, and the rest of the group standing back and snickering as he was hit repeatedly by 3 D.B.'s from 15 feet away.  When he finally tried to flee, they all killed him with the AOO's.Then there was the time that I killed (or at least took down) Gfunk's Dragon Disciple.  That was sweet.  He had a high-AC tank type, and he decided that he was going to waltz right up to a troll at around 5th level.  Two claws and a rend later...you know the story.  Random Encounter this was, no less.However, there are two deaths that I think must tie for the most ignominious in our group's history:1) Joachim, et al, were travelling through a passage in the Underdark, when a random encounter with a Beholder, a covey of Hags, and a hill giant crossed our path.  The beholder anti-magicked, one of the hags improved grabbed Joachim (who was blind, weak, and magic-less), and the hill giant proceeded to repeatedly beat the doo-doo out of him with his club.  Humiliating.2) Entropy was at 4th level at the beginning of the Speaker in Dreams.  She should have been 5th level, but she chose not to partake in the last fight (coward!) in the first module of the Take Eight series, so she was awarded 0 exp for that fight.  So, she was right short of 5th level, and we were in this bell-tower.  We were travelling slowly up the stairs, she gets impatient and runs ahead of us and hits an Enervate trap.  On a 1d4, a 4 is rolled.  Dead Entropy.Wow...that was rambling.</blockquote>
