I was the DM and ran the Cleric at the same time because we were short on Players, and I knew that the other characters would get themselves killed because they were new to the game. Needless to say, our group was always more straightforward and like the combat-focused style of play.At one point, I decided to go away from this style and see what would happen. The group was in search of a certain artifact, and they were on their way to the ruins of a temple that housed this artifact. But, their enemies had found the site first and began excavating it because the temple was actually totally underground. By the time the group discovered where the temple was, the enemy had already dug into the temple, and they began working their way to the artifact.The thing was that a large mass of men stood between the characters and the entrance to the temple. The enemy had set up a rather large camp around the entrance, and they had watch towers to keep watch over everything. Well, the characters thought that they were so big and that they could handle all of the men themselves. They waited until night, then they charged into the camp and start attacking soldiers. The men atop the watch towers immediately spotted them and sounded the alarm to alert the rest of the camp. But, most of the soldiers were off duty at this time, so the characters proceeded to enter their tents and kill them while they were trying to get their armor on.The PC's had managed to take out a good number of the soldiers before they all got their armor on. Then, things became hell. Soldiers swarmed around the PC's. The PC's were several levels higher than the soldiers, but they didn't stand a chance against all those men. My Cleric almost died, and the Barbarian had to give him a healing potion. My Cleric also had to save the other two PC's several times in that battle.We barely escaped with our lives. Then the Fighter remembered his ring that could teleport us, and we teleported straight to the entrance.</blockquote>
