Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aeris Winterood" data-source="post: 95164" data-attributes="member: 2195">How many of you have some good Monte Haul stories?I was in the Navy for a few years and when I was stationed on a new ship I came into contact with the gamers on board. They let me start play right away with them and I was told to make a character. I was usud to playing in good "normal" role-playing groups til now.The groups average level was around 16 or so, and I had no idea as to how they played. I was to make a 9th level character and I chose to make a half-elf Ranger. (1st ED., with no level limits)  I thought this was all fine and dandy and then the DM of the group told me I could choose 6 items of my picking to have. I thought about it for awhile and then made my choices. A ring of Vampiric regeneration, a vorpal blade, a girdle of Storm Giant strength, a double strength amulet of protection, and bracelets of armor class (ac2) and finally a ring of protection +4. In melee, I was a machine, with the girdle and the sword I would do a minimum of 18 points of damage per hit and recieve half that back in hit points due to the ring, not a bad combo!I knew this wasnt going to be a normal campaign after the first encounter.  The party was at an inn and there was some trouble in the stables, so we investigated. Inside, we were ambushed by 8 Death Knights and 20 skeletal warriors. Yes, I did not stutter! Well, with my blade and ring and girdle I swept a path of destuction and most died in my wake. I killed 6 of the 8 Death knights and over half of the skeletal warriors. The group was very impressed with my fighting abilities, and were shocked to know that I was merely 9th level to boot.This is were it gets funny. The barbarian in the group, who was 18th level, really coveted my sword, because of the beheadings I had in the previous fight. First, he asked me if I would give him the sword, of course I sadi no. And then he threatened me to give it to him. Again, no was the answer.So, he tells me that he will kill me and take i, so I matter the factly tell him to tyr and do it. Initiative is rolled, in which I win, and with my first attack his head is rolling down on the ground. The cleric in the group resurrects him on the spot but the barbarian doesnt learn. He again tells me he is gonna take it from me. I look at the DM and shrug my shoulders. I win initiative again and once again his head rolls with the first hit...Resurrected once again, and now with two very nice scars on his neck he finally relents and leaves me alone. From that time on I was the party leader and the action in this campaign got more and more outlandish. Anyway, I am wondering if many of you out there have stories like such?</blockquote>
