Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eltab" data-source="post: 7457066" data-attributes="member: 6803337">- 1980? I borrowed a character from a friend.  The group opened a door and found an altar dedicated to Thor, who the character worshipped.  I said "I do a reverence."  The statue threw a hammer at us and ... hits me.  I now have 1 HP.  The next PC says "I disbelieve in you!"  POOF - gone.  I didn't know that Potions of Healing were a thing, and thought my friend was going to get on me for getting his character almost-killed.- 4e LFR module at a convention.  The table is played by 4 adults and 2 kids (ages 8-12).  The group is doing really well until we face a portal that sucks stuff into the Abyss.  The Avenger and Cleric manage to use divine power to break it; my Star'Lock uses Intimidate to slam it shut.  I was feeling quite proud of myself!  Then I realized that both kids' characters had been sucked through the portal on their turns.  OH … NOES.  What Have I Done?  There was a DM mechanism to prevent losing characters that way, but I didn't know that.  I tried to make penance in my character's blood the rest of the module (but survived anyways).- 5e. HotDQ.  After some passive-aggressive PvP involving an IRL boyfriend/girlfriend pair, my Paladin spent 90 minutes of IRL time saving the GF's Rogue from drowning.  It was sort of my fault; I had just encouraged the Rogue to open a treasure chest but she set off a curse/trap instead.  The curse made her run back to a lake, jump in, swim for the bottom, and stay there.  I jumped in after her (with a rope tied around my full-plate-wearing self) to grab her and have everybody else haul us back up.- 5e again.  DM'ing Tiamat now, I played Arauthator as the group attacked him in his lair.  I amp'ed him up - Ancient White Dragon with max everything you should roll dice on.  The first round, our  Ranger got a crit with an Arrow of Dragon Slaying - there go ALL the extra HP !  By Combat Round Three I had half the group making Death Saves.  Then somebody woke up the Bard, who raised a Staff of Healing and smashed it down on the ground.  (From then on, it would be a mixed Staff of Healing and Frost.)  There were enough healing HP floating around to full-heal the entire group (8 PCs?) and Arauthator, had I wanted to.  Three Combat Rounds later, they slew him as he retreated out of the chamber.  IRL time: 3 hours 30 minutes.  In-game time: one minute.</blockquote>
