[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 4063729, member: 8530"] Awesome encounter that wasn't.....hmmm.....lots of possible nominees......the living chess game where it turns out most of the players didn't know how to play chess.....the 'Wandering Trees' module where the characters used magic to fly over the wandering trees, thus skipping 80% of the module.....but I'd say the winner has to be the following: The characters are put in charge of one of two major armies, their army set to attack a nearby city where the other army is at. They decide the best approach is to sneak into the city and incapitate the enemy army leaders while their own army moves up during the night. Good plan so far....it's how they go about incapacitating the enemy that isn't exactly the material for the ballads of courage. They find inn the enemy leaders are at, have a few of the characters take over as the bartender and waitresses, and continually keep the beverages flowing. Meanwhile their fighters set up positions behind the outhouses and knock out the drunk opponents individually while they are relieving themselves. Ah, it could have been a glorious battle! Instead they resort to rolling drunks! [/QUOTE]
