[QUOTE="Monayuris, post: 7547505, member: 6859536"] I'm really going from my personal feelings on this. I honestly don't see anything wrong with what played out and if everyone at the table had fun and enjoyed the results, that's all that matters. I think the issue, for me, is not so much about getting killed or not killed. My issue comes to this: I suppose it would be possible to happen too fast to react to, but I would have rather had the choice in the matter. I would have rather been presented with: [I]"Rillix leaps from the shadows and bears its claws and fangs ready to strike at the Orog.

What do you do?"[/I] I guess I'd like the opportunity to decide whether I use the situation to save myself or maybe even hope to save my animal companion by attacking the distracted orog.
