[QUOTE="Vague Jayhawk, post: 3246457, member: 40430"] This happened recently. Party is in a dungeon and come accross a room full of orcs. The party is an underpowered fourth level. The fighter and paladin go rushing in and find more orcs hiding. They get to single diget or negative hps and are almost surrounded. The rest of the party panics as they see the beatsticks get pummeled. Sorcerer does something I don't remember. The rogue does something I can't remember and then the cleric goes. He gets in the doorway and is not able to get to the badly hurt allys. He remembers the necklace of fireballs given to him last gaming session and figures that one of those should clear some of the room. Because he is throwing the fireball bead through traffic while squeezing with the sorcerer the DM makes him make an easy attack roll. He botches it. It falls short of the target catching everyone in a 3d6 fireball. Cleric fails his saving throw against the fireball. This forces the necklace of fireball to make a save. It fails. A 40' radius is covered in 88 points of fire damage. This is more than enough to kill all the PCs in the area. 4 of them. [/QUOTE]
