[QUOTE="SkidAce, post: 6141184, member: 7706"] Trying to destroy an artifact; the characters had travelled for miles after teleporting (a special gate) to a snowy antarctic plain towards some mountains. Reaching the mountains they find a frozen lake and a city encased in ice under it. Finally securing a way in they fight gibbous horrors and etc until they come to a huge room with a large pit. Levitating out of the pit was the BBEG, a mind flayer! They unleashed their spells and attacks and item uses immediately. (this was 1st ed by the way) The mind flayer twisted and burned from the spells, and the fighter finally used his own levitations style magic and got close enough to swack at it. The blade went right through it and he made his save versus illusion. He warned everyone, and they were pissed they had expended so many resources, but were glad that the damage they had taken was "subdual" damage. Until the fighter looked down and saw the real mind flayer who had been making the "projected image" down there controlling the reactions of the image. With the gig up, the mind flayer (real) rose levitating out of the pit like the illusion had done, but now the party's big guns were empty. Darn...what a shame, having to fight "it" over again. They barely won*. * They won with 2 of the 4 characters broken and unconcious. Then they found out the artifact had tricked them, and this was a place of power for it, not destruction. Darn...what a shame. [/QUOTE]
