It was AD&D 2E, not M&M, but was a fun surprise nonetheless.The 2E module was written for the Con, and the players were a mixed bag of Drow Overseers, Lackeys and slaves. The story was that an uprising occurred and this small group was trying to escape.I don't remember all the characters, but there was the Drow Matron, my human wizard (who was in love with the Matron and had been her lover for some time. Although he was LE, he wanted to bring her to the surface to save her), 2 dwarf slaves and 2 other characters.Based on my character write up, I saved the only teleport spell I had until the very end. Then, during the climactic battle, I "advised" the slaves/lackeys on how to best position themselves for defense of the room we were in (which was rather large). Once battle was joined and the others were yelling at me to start casting spells, I turned to the DM and said "I touch the Matron, recite my teleport spell, and leave these fools to their fate". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Apparently, during all the playtests prior to the Con, and even at every other table at which this module was run, the human wizard player always chose to die defending the Matron. No one expected a LE wizard to actually leave behind slaves and lackeys and hightail it out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
