[QUOTE="JESawyer, post: 223774, member: 4329"] The larger circumstances made the situation even more humorous. My previous campaign ended in player rage because they felt I was being a killer DM. Okay, so I did have the super-streamlined team of six perfectly-complementary Red Wizards of Thay beat the hell out of them. My bad. I decided to run a more epic, ROELEPLAYEINGE-oriented campaign the next time around. The "Seven Sorrows" campaign took the characters from Procampur to the Old Empires. They managed to go almost a dozen sessions with only four or five battles and tons of exploration, roleplaying, and intrigue. NO KILLER DM HERE, FOLKS. They entered a tomb in the Plains of Purple Dust. They had occasionally seen weird peacocks off in the distance, watching them. Naturally, this seemed a little odd, but they weren't too concerned. It made no sense to worry about them when there were behir running around everywhere. After all, what could a peacock do to a party of 8th level adventurers? LOL ROFL OMG BBQ! Ahem. They were standing in the tomb at the edge of a gorge. Three undead peacocks were staring at them with little red eyes. One of the PCs moved towards the edge of the gorge. The peacock started acting weird. It fanned out its tail and hypnotized the sorceress. She fell into the gorge, but was saved by her feather fall. A fighter followed her, but he simply survived through massive hit points and a good fort save. Then the fighter/rogue decided to step up and provoke the other two peacocks. He fell. He took 52 points of damage. He blew his saving throw for death by massive damage. CLASSY. [/QUOTE]
