The "ex-slave" pledges his life to the PCs and claims to be a warrior. They equip him, and he joins the group to try and take down the slavers.Scene: The players vs. plant creatures that have a sleeping poison. The goliath is asleep, and thus, most of the group's melee power is gone. The goliath is also behind enemy lines, since he charged into the room first, before the other PCs arrived at the door.Round 1: On the ex-slave's turn, he moves past the plant creatures, and goes up to the sleeping goliath. He says "I have a plan," and smacks the sleeping PC with his weapon. The goliath drops into negative hit points. The goliath player even announces he is in negative hit points. The players (including the goliath player) say "Oh, I think I see what he is doing." and smile, knowing that the ex-slave is about to save the day..?? Round 2: The plant monsters are dead. The ex-slave crushes the goliath's chest and the goliath dies. The players ask, in rather surprised tones "What are you doing?" The ex-slave turns into the goliath, takes the dead goliath's weapon (that does 3d6 damage) and now faces a rather surprised group.</blockquote>
