Oh Man, Is This Party Screwed

[MerakSpielman]

return to the temple of elemental evil, 2 sessions after my first ever DnD game, one encounter with a destrachan destroyed every piece of armour and weapon in the party, my character (a 2 weapon fighter) had an arm eaten off by green slime, and we were stuck in the middle of the temple. the very next session, the player of the bard/cleric/rogue/ munchkin thingy moved away, his character sneaked off in the night, and we awoke without any healing, one encounter later we were toast.

His PC was in a tight spot and he moved away? How inconsiderate.

the very next session, the player of the bard/cleric/rogue/ munchkin thingy moved away...

How can you call a player who rolls up a bard/cleric/rogue any kind of munchkind?

This didn't happen to me but it's one of my favourite gaming stories my dad tells. The party (standard 2e group) was tracking down this vampire. They followed him to this mausoleum. In the sarcoughagous they opened they found a set of stairs going down into darkness. Now, at this point in the 'hardcore' gaming session, my mom was asleep at the table. They woke her up and told her they had found the vampire. so her standard response to, what she thought was a combat situation, was Fireball. Now, the thing is, the set of stairs was an illusion, the real entrance to the lair was behind the mausoleum. So, a high level fireball, into a 10x10 mausoleum. The only members of the six member party that survived was the fighter in his fire resistant armour, and the rogue, who was behind the fighter. Before they raised the wizard (Mom) they had the fireball page removed from her book, and bought Ice Storm.
