There had been a close call before that I fudged when an ogre mage wiped the floor with the party's fighter. Why did they survive so long? Well, here's the party:Elf Fighter 8 who managed to have some powerful allies, one of which gave him the Flame Tongue sword (DMG) upon death.Human Rogue 6/Sorcerer 2Half-Elf Ranger 8 (he was a tad insane, talked to inanimate objects quite a bit)Half-Orc Barbarian 8Another Half-Elf Ranger (though he rarely attended sessions)Human Monk 8 with boots of speed and potions of flaming fists.Spellcasters gave them trouble until leadership netted them cleric and wizard cohorts.They fell to a hobgoblin tribe when they invaded their heavly fortified lair. I threw a few interesting foes at them: A half-fiend hobgoblin fighter, his fiendish sons, a red half-dragon/hobgoblin, a tauric hobgoblin/displacer beast and a weretiger hobgoblin (courtesy of WOTC's Fight Club). They made several stupid decisions and I grew tired of fudging rolls. The rogue survived the endfight but she failed to escape the half-fiend's hellhounds. They eventually trapped her when she took a wrong turn down a dead end.</blockquote>
