[QUOTE="DM with a vengence, post: 211802, member: 1679"] In RttToEE, several of my players decided that whomever was in the castle were the source of all of the evil incidents. The Elven Bard/Rogue took on a job as a servent, was assigned to scrub the steps of one of the guard/storage tower. As soon an no one is watching her, she used a grappling hook to latch onto an open window in the main keep, and then hand-over-hand across. While she is midway across, the head butler sees her and scream. She breaks all speed records getting back to the tower, however by the time she reaches it four guards have gathered below and are screaming at her to get out. She hucks an alchemist's fire at them and plans her next move. The rest of the party hears the shouting, climbs the wall, and lands in the bailey. We have Spanley McWigglefish, half-orc barbarian, and Hobo the Magical Hoo-Hag, gnomish illusionist. Meanwhile, another elven Bard/Rogue arrives in the castle through the secret passage, fleeing the stonemason's s shop, which he bought and then Spanley and Hobo set on fire. He sees them, and shoots an arrow at Spanley. Spanley charges him, moving to withing 35', ready to charge him again. It doesn't happen. Burne (or Rufus), one of the owners of the castle is a 12th level Wizard. He cast's haste, fly, improved invisability, and fly out and fireballs Spanley and the bard/rogue. The both fail and take 30 odd points of damage, the raging high-con Spanley is dropped to the single digits, but the bard/rogue is blasted across the courtyard at around -13. Rufus (or Burne), the other owner, who happens to be a 10th level fighter, rushes out with the rest of the guard, he screams "Surrender or die!" The first elf, the one in the tower, steps down and surrenders, but Spanley and Hobo try and make a run for it. Burne drops down and catches both in a lightening bolt, killing Hobo and knocking Spanley out. In jail, the elf tries to escape from a secured courtroom in the Temple of St. Cuthbert by grabbing a weapon and fighting her way out, she's gunned down by dozens of heavy crossbows. Spanley refuses to take the disgrace of a trial, and bites her own leg off. [/QUOTE]
