[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 1432055, member: 633"] It was kinda supposed to be so. We were eavesdropping on the evidently-badass necromancer casting Create Undead, who also had this big blood elemental as a bodyguard. We fully knew that going against someone capable of casting that spell would have been a very tough fight - plus, the blood elemental, capable of basically destroying anything within melee range in one round. Plus, a bunch of skeletons and zombies. I quickly devised a plan, we attacked, and we managed to interrupt the ritual, destroy the elemental, and force the necromancer to escape without any of us getting killed. It would have been nice to nail her, too, but you can't have everything. Later, the DM told me that he didn't think we would have attacked; I think the total EL was at least 4 above the party level. He thought we would have witnessed the reanimation of the village's corpses and then flee. But hell, if I play good, I play [i]good[/i]; letting my people getting turned into wights isn't on the menu, odds or not. Sometimes even the mists take a blow. [/QUOTE]
