[QUOTE="Rothe, post: 3087315, member: 39813"] More of a Doh! moment than true stupidity. Party of six low level adventurers (level 2-3) need to cross a room filled with spear bearing skeletons (20 total). IMC having the weapon makes them much more dangerous. The party correctly surmizes they are not your average skeletons from their glowing red eyes. The skeletons are in a evil temple complex and the party had slain several of the priests and the high priest. Unfortunately 2 of the party had been "marked" as enemies of the god in their encounters. The party correctly surmizes that wearing the unholy symbols they took from the priests will allow them to cross the room. The 4 unmarked members cross wearing the unholy symbols. They also guess that the unholy symbols won't help the "marked" PCs. The marked PCs run across the room, skeltons activate, a touch and go battle ensues, one PC almost buying it and consuming all the party's healing stuff to avoid death. After the battle they say, "Maybe we should have taken the skeletons spears away before entering," which would have worked. [/QUOTE]
