[QUOTE="FoxWander, post: 5671265, member: 1356"] We "encountered" several as part of a send-off 2E game for one of our players. In game all our highest level characters knew each other, so the idea was that his character was going away also. So they all got together for one more night of craziness. His character wanted to go tarrasque hunting! Finding them amongst the various planes is fairly easy at that level - my character was a 27th level wizard (with several level of bard and thief also). We were going to make it a contest where we'd each take it on solo and judge each other on how well we did, with an emphasis on style and speed. If anyone needed to be rescued by the others they would automatically lose. And we wouldn't use the finishing wish, so we could just come back the next day for the next person's turn. Well, my character never really liked the departing character anyway (neither did the others- the player was ok, but his character was an over-the-top munchkinny ball of ridiculous) so I hatched a plan to ruin the contest and volunteered to go first. I "won" in two rounds. Round 1: teleport next to it (an at will, free action for me) and slapped it with [i]Otto's Irresistable Dance[/i]! Round 2: make it permanent (with a command word to break it) with a [i]Wish[/i]. Now I had a dancing 50' death machine. (I like to picture it doing an irish jig!) I followed this up with enough uses of my Wand of Size Alteration to get it down to 2 inches tall- and made that permanent with a [i]Wish[/i] as well (keyed to the same dispelling command word). Finally I scooped it up into a glassteel jar to carry in my bag of holding as the ultimate insurance policy/distraction. Even though I ruined the contest, the others voted that I'd won on style points.:lol: [/QUOTE]
