[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1970081, member: 9646"] This one happened a long time ago, during ADD 1e or 2e, when Hold Person could affect up to three persons at the same time. A really stupid event: The [I]three[/I] PCs enter an underground orc lair. There is a large corridor with two doors on the side walls, and a great ornated double door at the end of the corridor. The latter is opened, as is one of the side doors. Sounds of picking and mining come from this side door. PCs come there discreetly, and see past the door orcs digging a room. In fact they still were building this underground temple. As the orcs didn't notice them, being working with their back toward the door, the PCs decide to kill them by surprise. The stupid thing is that they all of a sudden decided to attack screaming like madmen. (I mean: the players screamed, to show their players furiously charging and screaming). So combat begins with screams... Meanwhile, the great double door at the end of the corridor opens on a temple hall where the orc priest was praying. So, logically the priest comes to investigate. What does he find? The three PCs fighting the orcs laborers, but now it's the PCs who have their back toward the door! So the orc priest cast a Hold Person (maybe his most powerful spell if I remember well) and all the three PCs FAIL their saving throws!! Of course, as they had nearly killed the orcs laborers, the orc priest didn't keep them alive to interrogate them or what not. He killed them one by one while they were held by the spell... [/QUOTE]
