During the final battle, the party wizard contemptously casts a fireball into a group of weakened opponents, destroying them all. He's grinning ear to ear, until he notices the other players looking appalled. His fireball had encompassed the Heart of Ice, destroying it. They never let him live that one down. On another occasion, they ventured into the well-secured lair of a vampire, including high-level hidey holes to prevent ground-based intruders. After first annihlating his throne room and obliterating the vampire, they chased his incorporeal form to his hidden coffin, sunk into a great wall accessible only through a tiny air hole. They summoned a celestial giant bee, and sent it on a couple of timed runs. After estimating the depth of the hole, the wizard carefully aimed his fireball through the tiny aperture...In one game, a group of low level adventurers was exploring some ruins. I told they spotted a pack of ghouls in the distance. They decided they were probably outmatched (correct). They decided the best course of action was to hide in some trees (incorrect). The last thing I remember about the conversation after the TPK that followed was me shouting, "Why didn't you run away? Hiding in trees???" One of the players said, "Well, it works with bears." (No. It doesn't).</blockquote>
