Message: <blockquote data-quote="Humanaut" data-source="post: 4632750" data-attributes="member: 49498">PC near death from fellow PC:  1e/2e hybrid days... a half giant fighter with big club, elven magic-user.   We were all fighting in a hallway when the 1/2 giant crit misses.  One roll on the fumble charts = crit hit friend!  Nearest friend?  Little elf wizard who gets KOed, but not dead from the blow. In highschool I had a few obnoxious PC's that other party members took things into their own hands. One was a halfling thief who insulted everything that moved.  Eventually in a ruined city it all came around.  I was being chased by a frost giant after wandering off on my own.  The NPC cleric and fighter/thief are on guard at a ruined temple enterance.  The grass was overgown enough that i ran in and used it as cover from the giant, trying to be quiet and get to my party.  Not knowing what was going on, the F/Th with bow of speed shoots at my rustling, 4 arrows!  Some actually hit, wounding me.  So i cry out and run into the temple, with the alerted giant coming.  As i get in the main hall the giant catches up, beats me to unconsciousness, then leaves.  The rest of the party was just coming out of the inner workings of the temple and see the giant leave.  Our Wizard/ Cleric PC (worships god of knowledge) comes over as if to aid me... just slits my throat and finishes me off.  He is visited by a vision of his god who lectures him on the killing, said PC promptly tosses his holy book at his god telling him to go to heck.  God image dissapears and a real live dragon emissary touches down to chomp him.  Scratch two PCs. Before the halflings death, he managed to kill another PC.  While in the mountains, looking for the lost city, my halfing spys a dragon in the distance, hurls an insult thinking it's "too far away"... it hears, it comes, it demands tribute... wants (what we all reveal) is the fighters +2 platemail... fighter refuses.  It is a Neutral Gem Dragon with a sleep gas breath weapon, which we all fail our saves... except the fighter.  Still refusing to give up his armor, he blows his Horn of Valhalla netting two fighters... quickly the are all killed and when we awake from our nap.  The fighter is just gone! Those were the days! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
