[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5229470, member: 2093"] Wayyyy back in the late 70's. I had a dwarf (named Gilladian) who was my favorite character. He had a 6 int and a 4 wis. He and 3-4 other characters (including an assassin of mine) decided to rob a dragon's lair. When we got there, the other PCs told Gilladian that he was the "one to go first" into the cave. They promised him that he really could kill the dragon! He charged in, and attacked, shouting "We are here to kill you!" or something similar. The dragon promptly breathed fire on him, killing him. It then left the cave to see who had dared to invade its cave. Meanwhile, the other PCs crept down a secret passage and into the lair from the back. They looted the cave of much valuable loot, but dared not stay very long for fear the distracted dragon would soon return and catch them. The dragon did return, discovered much treasure was missing, and left again to track down the thieves. It knew about the secret passage, but was just too big to USE it. It found the PCs, attacked them, and killed them all (including my assassin character). At which point I asked the DM if I had regenerated to life yet... (I had a ring of regeneration on, which everyone else had forgotten). Gilladian awoke, filled his pack with the choicest remaining treasure, and went back to town. Imagine his terrible disappointment when he discovered that none of his loyal friends had survived their ambush by the dragon. He never did figure out that he'd been set up! I loved that dwarf...
